About

Folsomdale Baptist Church

Founded in 1867 by German Baptist immigrants, Folsomdale Baptist Church celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2017. Once a vibrant congregation with a dynamic pastor, youth ministry, and thriving Awana program, we now find ourselves a smaller, older body of believers—yet still deeply committed to God’s work. Our community includes many young families, and we believe there is great potential for renewal and growth under the right shepherd’s leadership.

We have the facilities, resources, and the heart—many of us long to see our children and grandchildren grow up in the same faith community that shaped our lives. There is a mission field all around us—people hungry for the truth and hope of God’s Word.

Our Facilities

• A 260‑seat sanctuary
• Sunday School wing and nursery
• Full kitchen, offices, and fellowship areas

We are a friendly, faithful, and caring congregation of approximately 45 people in weekly attendance. Our members love the Lord and one another, and we are confident that He will continue to use Folsomdale Baptist Church for His honor and glory.

Our Church Family

Folsomdale Baptist Church is part of the North American Baptist Conference, yet remains an autonomous local church. Our leadership includes a Board of Deacons and a Board of Trustees. We are debt‑free, mission‑minded, and biblically grounded.

We Emphasize

• Winning the lost and nurturing spiritual growth
• Prayer in every ministry
• Sound, Bible‑centered preaching
• Joyful giving to support local and global missions

Our Mission Statement

"To glorify God by winning souls for Christ, training and equipping believers in the Word of God, ministering to the needs of the saints, and showing the love of Christ in every endeavor."

• A high‑quality public school system in nearby Attica, where Bible clubs, Christian music, and prayer are still welcomed
• Two Christian schools within 20 miles
• Major hospitals and services just 25 minutes away in Buffalo
• Colleges and universities offering excellent higher education opportunities

It’s an ideal place to raise a family and enjoy a close‑knit, faith‑oriented community.
