Indian River Baptist Church is still a Church that exist to edify the Saints and evangelize the sinner. While we will no longer meet at 1708 S. Ridgewood Avenue we have relocated to 4277 S. Ridgewood Ave. Edgewater Florida 32141

What an upside down, inside out, totally out of control world we live in today. Who would have ever thought the United States would struggle between Constitutional and common sense?

I am thankful that neither the President nor the Governor of Florida closed churches. Instead, as Pastor of Indian River Baptist Church, I made the common sense call to suspend our services.

Since Sunday morning, May 17th, we have been meeting in person at the church. (We also have been doing livestreams for those who do not feel comfortable coming because of health concerns or high risk.) Praise the Lord August 9th, we were able to begin meeting for Sunday School; which means we are now meeting for all our services. What a blessing this is!

Although we miss our meet and greet/ handshaking time, we have suspended that for the time being, and are being diligent to wear masks when unable to social distance, performing temperature checks at the door, as well as social distance while sitting.

We would love to have you join us for our services! Although we may be following different guidelines to protect against Covid, we have NOT CHANGED WHAT WE BELIEVE; and that includes following God's commandment to worship Him together in the house of the Lord.

We livestream all our videos on our facebook page. However, it does not require you to have a facebook account to watch. If you scroll up to the 2020 Theme picture above and click on it, it is a link that will transfer you directly to our church facebook page where you can watch those videos.

Pastor is also doing daily devotions each day on the facebook page. Just head over and look for the daily "Pastor's Corner" videos. What a blessing they are.

Both the "Livestream" as well as Pastor's Corner Videos are available to watch anytime. So don't worry if you miss it! (Although you will not get to fellowship with those who watch live via comments) You will still be able to watch.
