For God. For Ozark. For the World.

Who We Are

East Avenue Baptist Church was planted by Calvary Baptist Church out of a shared conviction that Christ builds His church through the faithful preaching of His Word. We believe that on an individual level, disciples make disciples. And on a corporate level, churches plant churches. East Avenue Baptist Church is the fruit of that conviction. 

Initial conversations began in 2024 between Calvary’s leadership and the former congregation that previously met in our current location. As prayer and counsel continued, Calvary formally decided in 2025 to plant East Avenue Baptist Church. What followed was a season of both spiritual and practical labor. Throughout the fall and into early 2026, members devoted themselves to prayer, planning, preparation, and hands-on work to ready the building and form a core group. By God’s grace, East Avenue began meeting regularly for worship on Sunday, March 1, 2026.

From the beginning, our aim is simple: to be a church ordered by Scripture and centered on Christ. We desire reverent worship, expositional preaching, meaningful membership, and intentional discipleship. We are grateful for Calvary’s partnership and generosity, and we pray the Lord will establish a faithful, gospel-anchored congregation here for generations to come. 

It is our joy to serve the people of Ozark, and our prayer is that Christ would be known, trusted, and treasured throughout this community.
