Ino Baptist Church is a growing, family-oriented Southern Baptist congregation with approximately 500 in weekly attendance. Our desire is to glorify Christ through biblically faithful preaching, vibrant discipleship, and worship that is both spiritually engaging and musically excellent.

We value multi-generational worship that blends the richness of traditional hymns with the freshness of modern worship songs, all rooted in Scripture and centered on the gospel. We are a rural church that draws from several surrounding cities and communities where our slogan is: “The Church Alive That’s Worth the Drive!”
