Gage Park Baptist is an American Baptist Church and started as a mission of First Baptist Church of Topeka. Gage Park Baptist began with a few committed people meeting in the home of James and Jean Crider in 1949.

Pastor Lloyd Griffith was called as the first pastor and the first public services were held on September 4, 1949, in the old Coed Theater on Lane Street. Today this building is the home for Latta-Whitlow Plumbing.

The sanctuary unit ground-breaking was held February 26, 1950. Much of the work on the building was done by the members and friends of the church.

On September 13, 1964, ground-breaking for the educational unit was held concluding the physical building of the church. Over the years, the members have taken excellent care of the building as you can see today.

In January of 1993, the congregation adopted a purpose statement that stands today "To bring glory to God in our community and the world through a relationship with and a commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord." It is with this purpose in mind that we administer the programs and services listed on this web site.

As you visit this site, it is our hope and prayer that we can be of assistance to you in finding a church home. Do not hesitate to call the church office or pastor Bob if you should have any questions. Thank you for visiting with us and may God bless you in your quest to find a church home.

In the Bonds of His Spirit,

Rev. Robert L. (Bob) Roesler
