"For the glory of God and the good of our neighbor"
Our Story
Founded in 1785 by Elders John Taylor and John Tanner with just 18 members — among them, relatives of Daniel Boone — Boone's Creek Baptist Church has been a place of worship, community, and service in the heart of Kentucky for over two centuries.
The congregation has proclaimed the gospel continuously since 1785. Today we remain committed to that same foundational calling: to live for the glory of God and the good of our neighbors. Whether you're a lifelong believer or simply exploring faith for the first time, you are welcome here.
The Good News
We aim to spread the glory of God from our neighbors to the nations by sharing the gospel of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God is the Creator of all things and declared His creation good. He is holy, just, and worthy of all honor, confidence, and love. He made humanity in His image and for His glory.
Genesis 1:1 · Genesis 1:26–27
Despite our obligation to obey and love God, man rebelled and plunged the world into the curse of sin. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God — we deserve death.
Romans 3:23 · Romans 6:23
Jesus lived sinlessly, was crucified bearing God's wrath for our sins, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. He is our only mediator and all-sufficient Savior.
1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · John 14:6
No man comes to the Father except through Christ. Whoever confesses Jesus is Lord and believes God raised Him from the dead will be saved and receive eternal life.
Romans 10:9–10 · John 3:36
If you have questions about the gospel or would like to speak with a pastor, we would love to talk with you.

We hold to the historic Baptist faith, following a modified version of the New Hampshire Baptist Confession of Faith, centered on the authority of Scripture and salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
The Bible is the infallible, verbally inspired Word of God — the only complete and final revelation of His will to man and the supreme standard by which all human conduct should be tried.
The salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God — not by our works, but by faith alone in the Redeemer's blood.
Christ died for our sins as the substitutionary Lamb of God, was buried, and rose again the third day — and this good news is the power of God for salvation to all who believe.
A church of Jesus Christ is a congregation of baptized believers associated by a covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel, with Christ as its only head.
