In 1992 a group of twenty people gathered to start a church in a member's home. That little gathering continued to grow and eventually moved to the basement of the Masonic Lodge in Stanley , KS . They continued to meet there for two and a half years until the Lord showed Pastor Rick Summers that the church body needed to move to Louisburg . In April of 1995 the members remodeled some rooms in the Louisburg Plaza . They started services there in May 1995 and continued to make it their home until May 2003. In 2000 the Lord allowed the Louisburg Baptist Temple to purchase twelve acres and in two short years the Lord used a small congregation to pay off the debt. They began to build on 271 st and Metcalf in December 2002 and in a short six months the entire building was ready for occupancy.
Louisburg Baptist Temple has a congregation of about one hundred and fifty people. The Senior Pastor is Richard L. Summers and there are two associate pastors under him. The church provides many ministries such as Discipleship, AWANA's, Senior Citizens' Group, Children's Church, Youth Ministries, Missions,
Reformers Unanimous, and a Sunday School program. Louisburg Baptist Temple has come a long way from 20 people in a small home and we are looking forward to see what the Lord does in the future. Each week at the end of our Sunday service there is a call for people to come forward who recognize their need for the gift of eternal life. Our joy comes from seeing new people come forward to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior . The journey is easy, it begins with placing one foot in front of the other. Will you be next?
