Welcome
Pea Ridge Baptist Church is a group of people following Jesus together. You're invited to engage in life-giving community, where you will be welcomed and encouraged. We believe in cultivating a church family that allows people to have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory. Join us as we follow Jesus together.
August 2025: Live By Faith
One of the great modern myths of following Jesus is that this way of life brings us ease and comfort. When we read our Bibles, we can quicky see that those who sought to follow God faced plenty of challenges. What makes us think that our lives will be any different than those we see in Scripture?
We should expect to face hardships and difficult times, just as they did. Does this mean we who follow Christ should be downcast and live in defeat? Absolutely not! Following the example of Jesus and others in Scripture, we can be honest about what life may have in store and then turn our hearts to God as our source of peace and power. As we learn to trust in Him, we will begin to experience His presence and allow Him to grow our faith.
