About Westhampton Baptist Church
Westhampton Baptist Church is a community of faith ministering not only in the Westhampton community, but also in the City of Richmond, in Virginia, and around the world.
Working in the Mission Field
This church freely chooses to associate with the sixty-one churches and missions of the Richmond Baptist Association, and the 1,551 churches of the Baptist General Association of Virginia and is associated with both the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Southern Baptist Convention. However, as a local church, we diligently seek to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit above all associations, we plan our ministry and our mission according to uniqueness of our people, the doors of mission opportunity that open to us, and the Great Commission of Jesus Christ found in Matthew 28:19-20.
We work hard and eat well!
Westhampton Baptist Church (WBC) is a thriving, family-oriented church which has been a prominent part of the Westhampton community since 1911. Our congregation is diverse, and our programs are unique.
WBC maintains a full program of activities for all age groups in Christian education, music, social ministry, mission ministry, and spiritual growth. Opportunities vary from mission trips to programs designed to feed the hungry and homeless right here in Richmond; from pastoral ministry to witness ministries which transform the heart and reconcile people to God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Carol Turner,
Minister of Music
In all these ways and more, we are a people called to ministry and mission by the Holy Spirit of God.
Welcome to Westhampton Baptist Church — A small church with a big heart. We are a diverse congregation with a common purpose, and we joyously worship, pray, fellowship and serve God and our neighbor together. There is a place just waiting for you in our congregation.
