A Word from Our Pastor

Downtown, the 630-foot stainless steel Gateway Arch reflects St. Louis’ historic role as the gateway to the West. For the past 115 years, the Tower Grove Baptist Church has served the historic role of being a gateway to the Lord. We are not here by accident; God has placed [us] as a light for the Gentiles, that [we] should bring salvation to the end of the earth (Acts 13:47). God has given us a purpose and mission; we are in the right place at the right time.

God has commanded His people to make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19). Our purpose is not merely to make church members – it is to make Christian disciples. A disciple is a student, a learner, whose goal is to become like Christ. You are here because you are serious about your relationship with Jesus Christ and are committed to helping others grow in their relationship with Him.

What we do apart from God in this life will not last, but whatever God does through us in this life will never end. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal (Matthew 6:20). So let us invest our lives in something worth living for. I look forward to serving with you as your fellow servant and brother in the Lord. God is good.

By His Grace,

Christopher M. Coury

Senior Pastor
