Our Church

Landmark Missionary Baptist Church began as a mission in the summer of 1955 under the leadership of Isaac J. Smith.

Brother Smith had been the pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Pueblo, Colorado and also spent a short time pastoring Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming before coming to Lakewood.

Landmark Missionary Baptist Church was organized on September 4, 1955 with 13 charter members, and Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of Cheyenne, Wyoming was the sponsoring church.

Landmark Missionary Baptist Church is a body of saved, baptized believers working together to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. The church is modeled according to the design that Jesus gave when he first called out his church during his personal ministry (Matthew 4:17-22).

We strive to follow the original pattern of the church given in the the New Testament and to fufill the commission that the Lord gave to his churches to "teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."

We are a vital local body that has an intimate relationship with our only head: The Lord Jesus Christ. This relationship with our Lord is manifested by our love for one another.

All of our meetings are open to the public and we welcome visitors. It is our goal to show the love of Christ to everyone with whom we come in contact.

We do not believe that you need to be a member of LMBC to be saved, nor that we have the only true church. We do believe, however, that the life of the believer was meant to be lived in the fellowship of a local church, and that true churches bear the identifying marks of a scriptural New Testament church as described in the Bible.
