Ministry updates

Giving thanks. Continuing in prayer.

These highlights share the ministry news from two letters provided by Pastor Walker. Prayer needs and plans are described as they stood when each letter was written.

March–May · Year not specified

Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord.

A ministry letter shared in August 2026 looks back on a special Thursday worship service and continued outreach in Trenton.

A citywide service

The church reported more than 700 people attending a service featuring a 200-voice choir from Crown College in a 2,500-seat theater. The letter described a profession of faith, more than 148 follow-up contacts, and first-time visitors who came to church afterward.

Growing through outreach and fellowship

The letter celebrated eight professions of faith over the reporting period, opportunities for street preaching, visiting missionaries, and Pastor Walker’s visit to Cornerstone Baptist Church in Chicago for its eighteenth anniversary.

A ladies’ Bible study led by Samantha Walker began with eight participants. The letter also announced plans for the Trenton Baptist Cadets, a homeschooling ministry intended for church members and their families, with an emphasis on helping parents teach their children.

Prayer from this letter

  • Continued visits, spiritual growth, and baptisms.
  • Young people attending teen camp and the growth of the ladies’ Bible study.
  • Wisdom for the proposed Cadets ministry.
  • God’s provision for the ministry and guidance toward a permanent church property.

Contact the church for the current status of these ministries and plans. The Cadets announcement describes a ministry for church members, with no public enrollment offered.

March, April & May 2025

Praise and prayer from spring 2025.

Pastor Walker’s dated update reflects on his ordination, a gospel crusade, and the beginning of regular services in the church’s meeting space.

Ordination and gospel outreach

More than 30 preachers attended Pastor Walker’s ordination council. The letter thanked Open Bible Baptist Church for helping produce 40,000 John and Romans booklets and more than 20,000 door hanger bags. It also reported the distribution of 30,000 door hanger bags in Trenton.

A place to gather and a way to get there

The church reported securing a meeting building three days before its crusade, with volunteers helping clean and prepare it. The purchase of a bus was another answer to prayer, supporting the church’s transportation ministry.

Crusade and grand opening

The report described more than 150 people attending the crusade nightly, children’s Vacation Bible Time activities, professions of faith, and baptisms. On May 18, 2025, the church celebrated a grand opening with 47 people attending. Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Thursday services were part of the regular schedule described in the letter.

Prayer from this letter

Pastor Walker asked for prayer for the church family’s growth, building repairs, continued ministry support, and provision for families seeking Christian education.
