Memorial Baptist Church Mission
The Memorial Baptist Church is a progressive ministry which seeks to facilitate the spiritual growth of individuals in the community of Evansville, Indiana by extending to it a holistic ministerial paradigm. We are an un-apologetically evangelistic church family.
Vision of the House
Memorial Baptist Church is a Christ-centered, Christian community; embracing Pentecostal/charismatic fire and historic liturgy. We hold in tension a call to Spirit-filled living and social renewal. Our four-fold mission is to Evangelize, Educate, Emancipate and Empower in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ through loving, lifting and liberating humanity.

Emancipation
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
John 8:36
- As we endeavor to stay close to the Lord in prayer, study, personal and corporate worship; try to treat everyone right, love ourselves while accepting God's unconditional love for us, we will continue to be free from bondage, and shackles will come off!
Empowerment
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." Acts 1:8
- Prayer, fasting, and the study of the Scripture will continue to be the chief disciplines of spiritual empowerment.
- Economic empowerment of our church is founded on the principles of tithes and offerings. The Memorial Community Development Corporation (MCDC) and countless others use their professions and gifts to help empower the community.
