But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

The final words that Jesus spoke to His first followers were prophetic. They did indeed receive power after the Holy Spirit came upon them at Pentecost, and they were His witnesses first in Jerusalem, then in Judea and Samaria, and as they were scattered through persecution, to the ends of the earth.

Those prophetic words serve as a challenge to Versailles Baptist Church today. Our challenge is to be witness in Versailles, in Kentucky, in the United States of America, and throughout the rest of the world.

Versailles Baptist Church has accepted the Acts 1:8 challenge to be a worldwide mission center, engaging in intentional kingdom-growing efforts.

JERUSALEM

We view our Jerusalem as the Versailles/Lexington area. Each April on the Great Day of Service, over 200 of us join together to do service projects in our community. Through free car washes, building wheelchair ramps, repairing area homes, and more, we are seeking to meet needs and to share Christ. Additionally, throughout the year, our church helps serve the homeless in the Lexington area, runs an after school homework club, works closely with our local food pantry, builds and provides beds for children, leads Bible studies at the local jail, Margaret Hall apartments and Daisy Hill Senior Living Center, and many more local projects!
