Sunday School
Our Sunday School classes provide a structure for teaching God's Word while also gearing Bible teaching to specific age groups.
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers." ~ 1 Tim 4:12
At Souls Harbor Baptist Church, we understand that the Lord has called us to invest in the younger generation. They are the future leaders of our community, and we want to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
We offer classes for children aged 4 to 12 years old through our Children’s Ministries program. Additionally, we have a Youth Group that caters to teens aged 13 to 18 years old, providing them with opportunities for spiritual growth and leadership development.
Adult Ministries
And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." ~ Proverbs 18:24
At Souls Harbor baptist Church, we endeavor to have a place for every age group to grow in their relationship with God. To build relationships with others your age well. We have a Sunday School for Adults as meeting the needs of parents with young children, the needs of those who are finding themselves as empty nesters, reaching the golden years, and sharing the value of the great wisdom God has given us over our lives, while meeting the needs of those in the twilight years. Of course, we encourage anyone to attend any of our Adult Sunday School classes to encourage your personal walk with God!
Bus Ministry
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." ~ Luke 14:23
The Bus Ministry is devoted to reaching lost souls for Christ. We currently routes in Marietta and Ohio Valley and surrounding area picking up adults and children from all stages of life.
Many riders attend every Sunday morning with many returning Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Special interest is shown in all of our riders each week.
Children & Youth Programs
Every Wednesday evening, Souls Harbor Baptist Church sends out buses and vans to pick up children from across the area. These children are then brought to specially designed Bible classes and activities. Through these classes and activities, we share the great love that God has for each and every one of them, helping them grow and become successful adults for the next generation.
Seedline Ministry
Psalms 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Every Tuesday morning, adults, teens, and children assemble in our bindery room to have hands-on involvement with Bible publishing for the world. This is accomplished by taking the printed page and collating it, folding the covers, putting the Scripture in the cover, stapling it, cutting the book, and boxing them for the field. This ministry is enjoyable, easy, and eternal. These are printed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and many other languages. Our John and Romas have been sent all around the world to missionaries to distribute to men, women, boys, and girls who may never be able to have the Word of God any other way. We have reached over 4 million with the word of God from our bindery at Souls Harbor and growing every week.
Vacation Bible School
Our annual vacation Bible school is an outreach program that we organize in our community. We invite children from all over the area to join us picking them on buses or drive them over to the church property for a week-long experience. During this time, we provide five consecutive evenings of specially designed Bible classes, singing Bible verses, and engaging activities that cater to the interests of boys and girls. We also have craft times where children can create their own Bible-themed items. The Bible subjects offered are tailored to meet the diverse needs of our participants. The week culminates in a celebration of achievement and awards, inviting parents to witness their child’s progress and accomplishments.
Jr. Church Program
Provers 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
During our adult preaching services on Sunday mornings, we have special preaching and teaching sessions for children aged preschool to sixth grade. These sessions provide an opportunity for them to hear the word of God preached and taught in a manner that is appropriate for their age and understanding.
Teen & Youth Camps
Church Camps offers an extraordinary overnight youth camp experience that fosters a deeper connection with the Lord through engaging activities, tailored preaching for different age groups, and a week-long break from video games, telephones, and television. This environment provides an opportunity for kids to build friendships through shared outdoor activities, sports, and spiritual teachings. Well-trained and caring counselors lead five fun-filled days of activities and offer spiritual encouragement throughout the beautiful Marietta and the Ohio Valley area.
Missions
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" ~ Matthew 28:19
Missions emphasis has been a vital part of the ministry of Souls Harbor Baptist for over 44 years. God gives us our “Mission Statement” in Matthew 28:19-20 where He tells us go into all parts of the world with the Gospel of Christ.
Souls Harbor currently supports over 40 missionaries and ministries throughout this country and the world. September is “Missions Month,” where last year we agreed to support through Faith Promise Giving to support our missionaries.
The sun never sets on the ministry of Souls Harbor Baptist. What an exciting thing to be involved in and a part of reaching the lost with the Gospel.
Choir & Music Ministry
Psalm 101:2 “Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”
At Souls Harbor Baptist, we provide a special opportunity for adults and children to come together and sing songs that praise the Lord. Our children sing uplifting, energetic, and age-appropriate Christian songs that celebrate the goodness of God. The adult choir actively participates in the main service, giving adults the opportunity to share their musical talents or even discover new ones. Beyond the joy of making music, these groups offer a meaningful way to serve in worship, foster community, and deepen spiritual growth.
