University Baptist Church, located at 4608 S Hagadorn Road in East Lansing, Michigan, is a cross-
generational congregation. Members of the Greater Lansing community worship the Lord with
members of Michigan State University community. From retirees to toddlers, all are able to find
opportunities to serve, worship and study.
Our leadership team is increasingly serving an international church with
Christians from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the Caribbean
Islands. Our church supports missionaries around the world, including
student mission trips and ministry to students (e.g. Athletes in Action).
We are a warm, caring evangelical congregation that loves the Lord
and believes in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. We focus on
serving our neighbors, worshiping the Lord and walking together in our
study of the Word of God.
University Baptist Church was organized in 1963 as an outgrowth of the
Michigan State University Baptist Student Center. At that time there
were no Baptist churches in the East Lansing - Michigan State
University area.
Living in the present age where denominational labels are less and less
important University Baptist Church focuses on what unites Christians
rather than what divides us. We believe in encouragement, unity and
obedience. In the words of John Wesley, "If your heart is as mine, take
my hand."
