Boiling Springs Baptist Church

What Boiling Springs Baptist Church does

Boiling Springs Baptist Church is a private, non-profit Baptist congregation located at 307 S. Main Street, Shelby, North Carolina (mailing address Boiling Springs, NC 28017), organized on September 15, 1847. It operates a 37-acre campus containing over 38,000 square feet of building space, including a sanctuary with 1,000-seat capacity and an educational plant built for 1,200 enrollment, completed in 1969 and expanded through the 'Together We Build' capital program (1997-2000). The church serves a multi-generational congregation and the surrounding Boiling Springs community through weekly worship services (Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings), Sunday School for all ages, and dedicated ministries for children, youth (grades 6-12), senior adults, and women.

The church operates Boiling Springs Baptist Daycare, a wholly-owned licensed four-star child care facility established in 1984 that serves children ages six weeks to five years old across seven classrooms, with current enrollment of 77 against a licensed capacity of 90. Additional programs include scouting (Boy Scouts Troop 117 and Cub Scouts), a Prayer Shawl Ministry, a Prayer Labyrinth, a food pantry operating Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, the Woman's Missionary Union, and a Music Ministry encompassing children's, youth, and adult choirs plus handbell ensembles. Digital distribution channels include a YouTube live-stream for virtual worship attendance and an online giving portal through the Realm platform.

Revenue is generated primarily through tithes and offerings, online donations via Realm, daycare tuition, nominal Wednesday fellowship meal fees ($2-$5 per person during the school year), and contributions to designated funds such as the Bob Beason Sacred Music Scholarship established in 2002 for Gardner-Webb University music majors. The church is led by Pastor Keith Dixon and a pastoral/administrative staff of approximately seven (including a Minister for Preschool and Children, an interim Minister for Youth and Young Adults, a Minister of Music, a Pianist, an Office and Financial Administrator, and a Daycare Director), with an additional ~22 staff in the daycare subsidiary.
