Mississippi, Dakota Baptists develop ‘revolving door partnership’

A small, yet growing North Dakota church and Sand Hill Church in Ellisville, Mississippi, recently partnered together. The two mission-minded churches have helped one another in reaching the lost in their respective communities.

Ian Harp was called from Northeast Florida in 2023 to pastor a church in Belfield, North Dakota. The congregation of Belfield Church desired to plant other churches. Not long after the new pastor’s arrival, he was preaching his first sermon at The Church @ Dickinson, located 20 miles east of Belfield in an old, converted hospital.

Over 1,500 miles southeast, the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board and the North American Mission Board set out to plan future ministry in the Dakotas.

Minnesota Baptist leaders denounce disruption of worship service

“We are united in the conviction that the gospel of Jesus transcends political agendas. … While we recognize the tensions surrounding federal enforcement, the local church is a place for spiritual transformation and biblical teaching, not a platform for political theater or coerced denouncements,” said Trey Turner, who leads the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention.
