Coach Ford & Middle Baptist Church Basketball Camp
A Message from
Pastor & First Lady Basken


For thirteen years the Sylvester Ford and Middle Baptist Church Basketball Camp has kept boys and girls off the streets and in a safe learning environment. There are 3 sessions which began June 8th and will conclude on June 26, 2009

Our goal at Middle Baptist Church is to focus on four aspects which we feel are essential for the spiritual growth of a church. They are:
· Worship
· Evangelism
· Christian Education, and
· Community Service

In addition to being focused on the above list, as a church, we also encourage each member to find a specific ministry and to become involved. This is vital if we are to promote the Word of God and increase His kingdom in this world.

"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28

It is the responsibility of Christians to minister and to bring souls to Christ.

We invite you to worship with us each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. At 9:30 a.m., we offer Sunday school classes for all age groups. If you do not have a church home, we invite you to become a part of our family.

“We are small enough to know you and large enough to serve you.”

Middle Baptist is located at 801 Whitehaven Lane, Memphis, Tennessee. More information is available by calling the Church Office at (901) 396-0191.

Mother-Daughter Luncheon

The women of Middle Baptist Church starts preparing their minds spiritually, for what is to come during Women’s Month. The first event each year is the Mother Daughter Luncheon which took place on Saturday, May 2, 2009, at 11 am in the Family Life Center. The theme for the occasion was“…Honour Thy Mother...” The scripture is Deuteronomy 5:16. Sisters Dovie McKnight and Mary Martin are the chairpersons for this event.

During the Luncheon, Sis. Carlean Ruffin a member of Middle Baptist Church was presented as “Mother of the Year.” She was considered for her accomplishments, who possessed the character of caring, nurturing, a community leader, and a role model for children, family, as well as others that she met on a daily basis. She also has the ability to laugh, cry and teach by the life she lives. Sis. Ruffin demonstrates an unconditional love of God.

Other Women’s Ministry activities that will lead to Women’s Month include a women’s retreat which is scheduled to be held in Atlanta, GA, a Prayer Brunch which is in the planning stage, and the Annual Women’s Day Celebration which is scheduled for the 4th Sunday in October at 11 am.

For more information regarding Women’s Ministry’s activities you may contact the Church at (901) 396-0191, the Family Life Center at (901) 344-8056 or you can visit our website at: www.middlebaptistchurch.com. Sister Marilyn J. Evans is the president of the Women’s Ministry, Sister Alene Greenlee is vice president, and Rev. Lester Basken is pastor.

“We are small enough to know you and large enough to serve you.”
