THEN & NOW: PREACHING & TEACHING

Greater St. Peter Baptist Church of Watson, Louisiana was established more than a century ago on March 20, 1916. As it was then, so it is now: a small country church with a big heart and an even bigger message: JESUS SAVES!

SMALL CHURCH BIG IMPACT

This is a church where everyone matters and the Bible is the standard. We are a church small enough for members to know and care for the concerns of one another and earnest enough to carry forth the light of the great Gospel commission.

Welcome!

This is greater st. peter baptist church

Our mission is to exalt God and his kingdom purposes upon the earth. To do that, we believe that the Bible is the instrument which dispatches the directives we must both live by and proclaim.

Our cry to the lost is: "Repent and be saved." Our stance is one of holiness. Our exhortation to those who affirm belief, eat the whole roll; man does not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God: every word of God is true. Our position in the world: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He came to bring healing to the whole man.

Our mandate to the redeemed: "Together let us put on the whole armor of God and work while it is day."

Our goal is to positively influence the lives of people with God's free gift of love, a message which transcends racial, social, economic, cultural and political divisors. Our goal is to help individuals to understand that the power and standards of God are real, alive and impactive in today's ever changing world.

A recent high school graduate, William Perry Robinson is affectionately know as "Trey". Brother Trey is a beloved member of the GSPBC Senior Choir.

Brother Mackenzie is also a farmer and selfless servant at Greater St. P! He is a hardworking person tackling in one week what it might take many of us to do in a month: working full-time, managing a farm, coaching football and being available to his mother and family. Mackenzie lives life with a wonderful work/life balance: as he makes time for himself with his favorite hobbies: fishing and hunting.
