A Place to find Answers
Almost 90% of Americans say they believe in God, yet church attendance is at an all-time low in this country. Americans seem to have little confidence that "church" can provide any real answers for the complexity of life in the 21st century. At Brookdale, we agree that "doing church" provides no lasting solutions, but the Bible does. We believe that the Bible has answers for life. It is the central focus of our ministry. We are committed to maintaining the authority of God’s Word in every aspect of our lives, and are convinced that it’s principles, practically and simply taught, provide the only real answer for real life problems. Whether it is in a larger congregational service or in a smaller, informal setting, we believe you will find Biblical answers to life’s complex issues.
A Place to Fellowship
Our world can seem pretty impersonal. At Brookdale, we believe that the church is a family. A family that laughs together, cries together, fellowships together and prays together. The family has taken a beating in our modern culture. We have a sincere desire to build up the institution of the family, and to provide a sense of family for those whose homes have been broken.
A Place to Worship
A church ought to provide refuge from the chaos of everyday life. We believe that a church service is more than just a social gathering. It is a time to meet with God. Brookdale desires to be a church characterized by genuine worship, God-glorifying music, and heartfelt praise. Our services are focused on the Bible and it’s challenge to authentic Christianity.
A Place to Grow
Learning is infectious! Most of us are stimulated to new levels of personal development in an atmosphere where others are excited about learning. Brookdale ministries are geared to provide you with the opportunity to take the next step in spirituality. No matter what your spiritual background may be, you will be encouraged and supported as you join with others in integrating the power of God’s Word into your life - seeing your live change and grow.
A Place to Serve
Believing we have a responsibility to impact our world, we take seriously every believer’s need to use their abilities in ministry service. Brookdale Baptist Church is not interested in developing a crowd of "Sunday morning spectators." But if you want to get involved in making a difference, no matter what your abilities are, Brookdale has a life-impacting service opportunity for you.
A Place to Belong
We are convinced that you will sense a spirit of warm, genuine fellowship when you visit Brookdale. You will find a place where the family cares for each other, challenging each other, and encourages one another in practical Christian living. We are not a large congregation, but this provides some advantages. You can be assured that while we can’t do everything, what we can do , we will do to address the spiritual needs of the Fargo-Moorhead community. Especially yours, if you will let us. At Brookdale Baptist Church, you will find "a place to belong." Would you visit soon and allow us the privilege of sharing our ministry with you?
