The purpose of Cheektowaga Community Baptist Church is to glorify God by fulfilling the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). In doing so, Cheektowaga Community Baptist Church will seek to bring people to Jesus Christ and membership in his family, develop them to Christ-like maturity, and equip them for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world, in order to magnify God.
On October 31, 1894, thirty people organized themselves into the First Polish Baptist Church. After constructing a building of their own, on July 15, 1907, they dedicated their new church building at 821 Filmore Ave.
The church was incorporated on October 24, 1945, and changed its name to the Baptist Church of our Saviour. The next year the congregation became self-supporting. With help from the Buffalo Baptist Association, the Congregation purchased land at 670 Dick Road in Cheektowaga preparing to build a new Sanctuary. Ground was broken on November 18, 1962.
On June 1, 1963 the congregation called the Rev. Mason Smith to be pastor. The church held its first service at the Cheektowaga Community Baptist Church on July 21, 1963. The congregation grew rapidly and soon built an Education wing, which was dedicated Dec. 21, 1969.
Our current Pastor, Rev. Dr. Ian Turner, was called to pastoral ministry by Cheektowaga Community Baptist Church on November 10, 2024.
