Ingleside Baptist Church
A multi-generational Baptist church in Macon, Georgia offering traditional and contemporary worship, life-stage ministries, student programmes, outreach initiatives and an on-site bookstore and café.
Ingleside Baptist Church is a multi-generational Baptist congregation in Macon, Georgia, whose stated purpose is to make disciples of Jesus Christ through biblical teaching, worship, fellowship, service and missions. The church serves families across every stage of life and blends traditional and contemporary forms of worship, an arrangement reflected in its Sunday schedule of one traditional Chapel service and two contemporary Worship Center services. Worship services are also live-streamed for remote participation.
The church's programmes are organised largely around life stage, with ministries for preschool, children, middle school, high school, college, young adult and adult groups - seven groups in total. Student ministry is Bible-centred and includes small groups, retreats and mission opportunities. A Church and Home strategy partners with parents to build faith in the home, while the NEXT initiative is directed at outreach to the next person, family and generation. Worship arts programming and recreation activities support congregational life.
On-site facilities include a bookstore and café serving the congregation and the wider community. The culture emphasises biblical truth, service, missions, small groups and the use of personal gifts in community, school and family life. For those moving on from public service careers, the work is community-facing and people-focused, spanning hospitality, youth and family programmes, operations and outreach.
