Christ is King Baptist Church

Christ is King is a church that is God honoring, Jesus proclaiming, Holy Spirit led, Word driven, for the glory of God among the nations.  


Christ is King Baptist Church meets at 10:00AM on Sunday at 6142 South Salina Street Syracuse, NY 13205.  Prayer Meeting is each Wednesday at 7PM at the same location. 

We are currently going through a series on the spiritual disciplines.   This is an exciting time as we watch the Lord build His church for His glory!

We are a Baptist church which holds to the doctrinal distinctives of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession.   We identify strongly with the nine marks of a Biblical church outlined at www.9marks.org.  We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is King over every area of life and we work to proclaim His Lordship by proclaiming the gospel in our city.

If you are looking for a church with:

  • A high view of God.
  • Clear preaching of the gospel.
  • Proclamation of the Lordship of Christ. 
  • Faithfulness to sound doctrine. 
  • Verse-by-verse expository preaching.
  •  Family friendly worship.
  • Members who genuinely care for one another.
  • Intense concern for those who do not know Jesus.
  • No gimmicks.
Then Christ is King is the church for you.  We hope that you will come visit.  If you have any questions, you can email Jon Speed (pastor) at jspeed1971@gmail.com or call at 315-565-4003.
