Thank you for stopping by our web site. Middle Street Baptist Church has now been ministering in Portsmouth's Haymarket Square for 175 years. The bell we ring every Sunday morning has been continually calling people to worship the living Christ since 1828. This long history is a great heritage and now we are making every effort to serve Jesus Christ in ways that will be effective in the Twenty First Century.

"To Know Christ and make Christ know-By inviting the seeker, guiding the follower and empowering the disciple" is our recently adopted mission statement. This new statement is helping to focus and shape our life together. We strive to worship with celebration and inspiration, learn to apply the scriptures in our relationships, work and family life, and to invite others to experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

Wander around the web site, e-mail us if you have questions or comments. Most of all, we invite you to move beyond the electronic and visit us for worship or one of the many other activities throughout the year.
