If this is your first time finding us let me tell you the History of Vision Baptist Church. Vision Baptist began in the summer of 2018 when the Lord laid it on my heart to start a chapel ministry to New Haven. We would meet at the Library conference room on Saturdays every week to teach kids, their families, and newly saved Christians about Christ. We did that for a while but Covid-19 restrictions made using that facility very unpractical and hard to organize.
Officially, we started as a church plant on October 18, 2022. And as a new church we've seen first hand that it takes time for people to find us and our numbers to grow. So, We are small right now. I tell our first time visitors if you are looking for a big crowd I'm sorry but you'll be disappointed if you come here. Rather our attitude is to obey God and to come together to worship God faithfully, week after week, so we do!
After we realized the Library would no longer work as a meeting place, we then started having services at my house. However, we soon found out,the city didn't allow that. Then we rented a small space in an office on Lake Ave. And that is when the Lord opened the next door for us.
Today I'm pleased to tell you we meet at 1232 Crescent Ave Door 3 (inside the Crescent Ave Church), once inside come upstairs or take the elevator to the adult service (Room 306) or the Kids Church (Room 307). My prayer and my aim is to serve the Lord with gladness and so, we meet on Sundays and Wednesdays to do just that! I have a passion and desire to serve Jesus Christ, and every week we give the gospel to many people usually door-to-door. As a group we're Independent Baptist, and we use the King James Version of the Bible. Our goal is to win the lost, encourage others to come to church, and build each other in the Word of God! As we grow, we are praying for God to bless us with a building and facilities so we can reach even more people with the gospel. And no matter what your story is or where you come from, I'm here to tell you that God loves you! God hates all sin but loves the sinner, every sinner including me and including you! You don't have to be special to come to church, my wife and I are just regular people who love God, who have a strong desire to honor Him, and who want YOU to come join us next Sunday for our church service!
Continue to pray for us as we seek the Lord's will. I know He has a permanent place for us, if we simply trust Him and follow His leading. Sincerely, Pastor Michael Bell.
