I love history and there is no story like His story. Pastor Brooks is only part of the pic. He has a devoted wife who also teaches by leading. Our Deacons & Deaconess are there to help you. This is my home and I feel safe and fulfilled. If you want to learn about Jesus, the only son of the Only living God. This is the place. You don't have to be invited to bible study, just come and ask questions. I guarantee you will get the answers. I miss Sunday service because I have to work, but I tune in to the Macedonia Baptist Church of KC Live every Sunday. Please join us and be ready on Wednesday for Bible Study. Even when my son was taken, it was my church family and my feeling of knowing Jesus was holding me down that got me thru it and helped me understand why.

Pastor Brooks breaks it down without all the dancing around and shouting and "can I get amen?' every other word. His famous words 'I am here to teach, i'm not here to entertain you.' And that is what he does. All the ministry staff, including Rev Sheffield, et al are wonderful at helping you to understand. I was never an ongoing church goer...but after hearing these ministers' way of conveying God's Word...I learned that despite past, present, future...I have a family that sticks by me. (Not like Jesus)...But they have been there for me. Thru my losses and all my blessings. Thank You Macedonia Family since about 2002?! Just saying...I'm blessed and feel love whenever I walk in the doors.

It is a lovely way to get my crazy day started. I have been to many services at this church and I have enjoyed them all. The congregation is very nice and friendly. They welcomed me- a Protestant- with open arms. The priests are very warm and they always find time for you if you need counsel. They have blessed artifacts, vehicles and pets for me over the course of years. I appreciate their caring ears and spiritual advice. I have known several of the priests over the decade I have been attending mass and each one has been equally as kind and caring. The administrative staff is wonderfully attentive and helpful, as well. There is a school connected to the church but I do not have any experience with the school. The church is not new and fancy. The building is old and the floors creak on occasion. The sanctuary is beautiful and filled with colorful stained glass. I like the fact that the building is old and creaky. It gives the building character and charm. Highly recommended church for worship, spiritual guidance and just reflection. I thoroughly enjoy going to services at St. John's.

What a beautiful layout of buildings with cool water features and a number of activities to do. I went here on a date night with my befriend and we were entertained for a couple hours. There is a cafe and bookstore near the parking area (which is huge). We did not get to visit those spots since they were closed. But as soon as you go through the buildings sides, you enter into a garden like area with fountains, water streams, and beautiful plants/trees. the landscaping is impressive. Even the trees are in unison. In the middle lies a bridge that overlooks the large building symmetrically. I don't know the names of any of these buildings, but the tall building seemed to house offices for counselors. One of the coolest parts was the labyrinth which is just a never ending maze. It's a one way line that goes from start to finish in a circle. It is the largest in the US. we spent some time there walking on it and admiring how cool it was. Lastly, there is a nature trail that holds a natural cave not too far in. If you follow the signs, it is easy to find! There were deer, squirrels, and lots of birds along this trail. Also there were multiple "wedding like" venues/ ceremony/ reception areas. basically lots of places for a wedding! it would hold a beautiful wedding or large party.

"Don't pull the Weeds" Matthew 13:24-30…read morePastor Lindsey The Parable of the Weeds 24He put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weedsc among the wheat and went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27And the servantsd of the master of the house came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?' 28He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' So the servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29But he said, 'No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'" NOTES: We are a mixture of blessing and curse. We can help the homeless one minute and curse your neighbor out the next. God has allowed the righteous and unrighteousness to intertwine around you. All of us are like sheep and have gone astray. Don't judge others for what they do because you've done things that may not be the same but it was wrong. God has allowed us to mingle together. Let the wheat and weeds grow together. If God allows the weeds to be removed too fast you may not grow the way you should. You may not be what you need to be but you are where God wants you to be. My grace is what you need to withstand the pressure of the weeds that surrounds you. God has been grace in the midst of your shortcomings. Lord have your way in the midst of our storms. The storms didn't go away but he allowed peace. *There's a blessing in having weeds. The weeds jeep you humble. When my back is against the wall he holds me up. If we had it our way we would cut people off and wouldn't allow them into heaven. God says don't separate weeds from the wheat. Stop trying to meet everyone's standards to serve God. Trust God and allow him to strengthen and build you.

The unity of this…read morecongregation--always grounded in the truth of Scripture--is what I've always imagined fellowship should look like according to God's Word. This is a right unity, a right fellowship, which grows out of bold and clear proclamation of the Gospel. For that reason, this kind of unity and fellowship is a rarity. Many claim unity, many claim fellowship, but scarcely is it a unity grounded in the divine truths of God's revelation. My family and I, in the providence of God, have truly found a gem here at Victory Baptist Church. It is my prayerful desire that you would come worship with us on a Sunday, at either the 11am or 1pm service--experience the preaching of the Word of God, the singing of hymns and psalms, and the warm fellowship of God's people. Feel free also to join us during a Wednesday hymn sing at 7pm, with our prayer meeting beginning at 7:30pm. More details can be found here: www.victorybaptistkc.org. We are looking forward to meeting you!
