Foreign mission fields call for workers to leave home and family, study new folkways, and take up residence where they serve the Lord. We apply the same approach to an American inner city. The people of the city cannot be won to Christ if Christians keep their distance.
Jesus called His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If the guiding light and preserving salt are removed, decay ensues. Woodruff Place Baptist Church is committed to be salt and light, and to minister to the city "in person."

Our Mission Statement
"But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you... and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
-- Jeremiah 29:7
