About

Brookings Baptist Church is the result of a burden that our mother church, Empire Baptist Temple – Sioux Falls, SD, has to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Great Commission given by the Lord in Matthew 28:18-20 requires not only that we spread the Word of God to other countries but also that we evangelize and educate in our own country including surrounding communities.

As a New Testament Baptist Church we are unaffiliated with any denominational hierarchy or headquarters. We believe that we answer solely to the Lord for the way our ministry is conducted. We are fully autonomous meaning that the ministry is locally operated and financed.

We believe that salvation comes from repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. After salvation, living the Christian life becomes the natural result of having a personal relationship with Christ. We look to the Word of God, the King James Bible, as the basis for all that we teach and preach. The Scriptures have the answers for all of life’s questions and problems.

Our goal at Brookings Baptist Church is to provide a church home where people can grow in their faith and knowledge of God and His Word. We believe that the house of God is a great place to have your personal spiritual needs met and to raise a family. Being a part of a local assembly of believers is God’s plan to help us deal with the many questions and challenges that we face in this world.
