Snyder Memorial Baptist Church

God has given us a sacred gift — the freedom to choose. In this powerful message, we explore how the decisions we make shape not just our own lives, but the lives of those around us. From the persecution of early preachers like Jeremiah Moore in 1783 Virginia to the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, we’ll see how faithful choices can change history and bring glory to God. Will your choices lead others to...

Many Christians feel distant from God, struggle with unanswered prayers, and wonder if He really cares about their daily problems. The way we think about God directly impacts how we experience His love and power. Pastor Blake challenges a common but dangerous way we think about God - as "the big man upstairs." This Father's Day message explores how this seemingly harmless phrase actually diminishe...

What does it mean to leave behind childish ways and become maturing disciples of Jesus? From 1 Corinthians 13:11, we’re reminded that spiritual growth is not optional—it’s essential. As we encourage graduates, we also challenge ourselves to ask three crucial questions every follower of Jesus must consider on the road to maturity. These questions shape how we become the Church and how we live as gr...

We can never assume—especially when it comes to faith. In this powerful message, we explore how one dangerous assumption could be the greatest existential threat facing the church and our families today. Drawing from Jude and Hebrews, we are reminded that assuming the faith of the next generation is not only unsafe but spiritually destructive. In a world that feels wild and stormy, this message ca...

If you have never Seen it before, it seems an odd practice: this ceremonial dunking of someone desiring to follow Jesus, or already following Jesus, who desires membership in a Baptist Church. If you image being a person who has never seen or heard of baptism, you can image how odd, in not extreme, it appears. Yet, followers of Jesus have done this for centuries. Why do Jesus' followers practice b...

Join us for a special Maundy Thursday Service on April 17th at 7pm where we will relive the last days of Jesus’ earthly ministry by sharing The Lord’s Supper (by intinction) and by reflecting on the power of the Cross and Jesus’ sacrifice to make a Way for each of us to have a relationship with God. Anchored by a choir created especially for this service, songs, hymns, and scripture will affirm th...
