"With all lowliness and meekness,
with longsuffering, forbearing
one another in love."
Ephesians 4:2

Internal combustion engines harness incredible pressures and dangerous heat to turn chemical energy into mechanical energy. All that friction and heat in a metal engine should tear the engine apart. What protects it? The answer is lubricating oil. The mechanical pieces moving at super speeds and enveloped in high heat do not develop destructive stress or wear out prematurely because they are constantly lubricated by engine oil. In fact, one of the quickest and surest ways to destroy an engine is to remove all the oil from an engine and then simply turn it on.

To accomplish God's plan for our community, Elmira Baptist Church desires to be both organized and energized. Both organization and energy naturally bring stress to people. Some organization frustrates one group. Another group is frustrated because there is not more organization. The energy of moving the church's ministries forward can bring friction between members. What is it that protects the church from this friction and stress? The lubricating oils of forbearance and longsuffering. For Elmira Baptist Church to continue to minister, to organize, and to energetically work requires us all to be longsuffering and to forbear one another in love. There is lots to do. Let us not get burned up by the pressure and heat. Instead, with the Holy Spirit as our guide, let us practice longsuffering and forbearance in love so that we can stay focused on the task at hand.

A Message from Pastor Scott

Welcome to Elmira Baptist Church! Founded through a revival in the 1950's, Elmira Baptist Church has been a beacon of hope to the communities of Elmira, Vacaville, Fairfield, Dixon, and beyond. What can you expect when you visit us?
Worship is central to all that we do. We do not "do church." We gather to worship a God Who is worthy. Worship is not about what we enjoy. Worship is about enjoying God. Congregational singing in which all participate in worship defines our meetings on Sunday.
Also, no church can thrive without prayer. Daily, personal prayer in our time with God as well as corporate prayer particularly on Wednesday evening. And not just giving God a shopping list of things we want; rather we pray in order to cooperate with what God is doing in our world. Our supplications are for God's grace in people's lives.
Once we have prayed, our goal is to evangelize our community where we live and the people whom we know. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus is the Savior of the world. That is not merely good news for Christians. It is good news for everyone.
And after a person is adopted as God's child, we do not wish to leave him there, immature and alone. Our plan is to make disciples. Our time together in community, fellowship, and serious study increases our desire to be disciples.
Our 2025 theme is rejoicing in the Lord. We will never find joy and happiness seeking our own priorities and pleasure. Only when we seek the Lord and prioritize worship, prayer, evangelism, and making disciples do we find that joy that God has intended for us.
We are rejoicing because with God's rich provision we are occupying the new building that we began working on a decade ago. At times, we thought we would never be done. We survived switching contractors, a pastor dying, a pandemic, and a couple of building code changes. Today, we rejoice that we are using the building. Nothing is impossible for God. We invite you to come join us in our new space.
