Denham Street Baptist Church still adheres to and follows our foundational inception of worshipping as an informal, traditional, old-fashioned, KJV Bible teaching and believing, Spirit convicting, soul-winning Baptist Church. Pastor Griffith stated in his inaugural message. “My approach to Servant Leadership is to lead in a manner in which others will desire the Christian Life. Above all else, the goal of my ministry has been to introduce Jesus Christ to everyone; to create opportunities for Christian families to grow, and to facilitate the Body of Christ by leading the way in having a Christ exalting, worshipping church with a heart for others.”
