The Next 125 Years.....

As Bro. Kevin Peters summed it up in the 125th memory book....

The call went out. The answer was returned. A gathering of God’s servants came together in obedience to His command. “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20 NIV) This gathering in 1884 was the start of Wilton Baptist Church. Wilton Baptist Church has survived the turn off two century marks, two World Wars among several other wars. Amid all the calamities and trials of this world, Wilton Baptist Church always remained an anchor point for the community.
Where will Wilton Baptist Church be over the next 25, 50, 100 or 125 years? God alone knows. He orders our footsteps. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declared the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV) As we answer God’s daily call to His service and remain faithful to God’s direction, Wilton Baptist Church will be a beacon of light, reflecting God’s glory to the those in need.
From humble beginnings, Wilton Baptist Church has remained a body of believers standing ready for the trumpet call. The numbers, faces, and personalities may have changed over the years but the goal has remained the same. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV)
