About Judson

OUR PURPOSE:

Judson Baptist Church of Oak Park exists to passionately love God, to pursue the glory of God in all things and to partner with Him in the pursuit of people near and far to be followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

OUR PROMISE:

We are committed to…

• Recognizing Christ’s supremacy with “Yes, Lord!” living

• Demonstrating a passion for truth by striving to understand and apply biblical knowledge to life.

• Exercising risk-taking faith by prayerful, yet daring, dependence on God.

• Cultivating a team environment and being a community where acceptance, forgiveness, grace and humility prevail

• Encouraging sacrifice, that is, the surrender of the control of our time, energy, money and service to the Lord

• Accepting people as individuals and expressing genuine concern for them

• Being an inclusive congregation and being intentional in matters of race and class diversity

• Equipping and unleashing people within the church and the community to use their gifts for the building of Christ’s Kingdom

• Focusing on fruit-bearing, while striving to be relevant, innovative, excellent and accountable

OUR VISION:

We envision ourselves standing courageously at the intersection where race and class collide and daring to live out authentic Christian community. Aware of the differences that divide our community, we fearlessly confront our discomforts as we draw together to worship God and to share our lives with one another.

Through God’s empowerment we will prepare and unleash men, women and youth to combat the evil spiritual forces and social ills that lurk among us. Compelled by Christ’s example, we will lovingly engage our neighbors and lead them unto Him. This is the model of God’s Kingdom we will seek to advance in Oak Park/Austin and beyond.
