Church of the Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland, launched by Kelly and Jeff Belcher in February 2015, has already planted one additional church, with another on the way.
Through the years the Belchers have knocked on hundreds of thousands of doors to meet neighbors.
The church has opened a thrift store in its fellowship hall and is actively involved in compassion ministry.
“Every community is different, and we’re just trying to reach ours right where they are,” Jeff said.
The U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Tuesday (March 17) in a case over whether Liberty University can require employees to follow its doctrinal beliefs on gender and sexuality.
What began on March 1 as a regular Sunday service at Bethlehem Church quickly became a day that few who were present will forget. By the time the waters stilled, exactly 400 people had been baptized across all three campuses.
While churchgoers may be praying about ways to tell others about Jesus, many aren’t doing much to make that happen.
David W. Manner, executive director-treasurer of the Kansas-Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists, has announced his plans to retire at or before the state convention’s annual meeting in October 2026.
