We are independent of any church denomination, and fundamental in our beliefs. 
We are Bible-believing,  preach the King James, and believe it is the preserved and inspired word of God. 
We are rightfully called Baptist because of our belief in the inerrancy of the scriptures, the blood atonement of Christ, His bodily resurrection, His deity and His sinless life. 
We believe that salvation was paid for totally by Christ's finished work on the cross; and we practice the immersion of believers only. 
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and that our righteousness is imputed to us freely by the grace of God.

If you are in need of salvation, click here.
 
We believe that Christ will return for His own in the first resurrection (known as "the Rapture") before the tribulation. Christ will return to the earth in His resurrected body and will set up His eternal kingdom on the earth. 
We further believe the world is lost, in need of Jesus and that we, the local church, have been given a commission by Christ Himself to go and  preach the gospel of salvation to a lost and dying world. To this end we have committed our lives, our time and our finances. We further work to encourage the saints, rear our children, save our marriages and pray for revival.


We were founded in September of 1972 by missionary church planter James Waymire. Bro. Waymire is a graduate of Tennessee Temple College and trained under Lee Roberson. He was assistant bus director at Highland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The church first met in a house on Tenbrook 
Road in Arnold and within a few years, 
purchased property on the corner of Highway 141 and I- 55. The church prospered and called its second pastor in 1978, Larry Stark, from Magnolia, Arkansas. The church continued to grow and outgrew it's location on 141. 

James Beller became the pastor in February 
of 1987, and within a few months, the church purchased the current properties of  ABT.  In 1993, ABT Academy was founded. In 1994, a new auditorium was built and dedicated.  

In 1998, ABT purchased a church building  in Rock Hill, Mo. to assist in the planting of  Solid Rock Baptist Church. We also rejoice in the purchase of the South Broadway Baptist Chapel at 8201 S. Broadway in the city of St. Louis, in the year 2001. 

We have purchased property on the 5700 Block of S. Virginia, in St. Louis, in assisting the founding of the Victory Independent Baptist church. 

In the summer of 2005, ABT assisted in the forming of the Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Farmington, Missouri. 

In miraculous fashion our church has been granted the use of a choice church building on Highway 30 in House Springs, Missouri. The baby church, Grace Independent Baptist Church is now under the leadership of Pastor Matt Dudley and have begun morning and evening services.

We are now have the Gateway Baptist Church, St. Louis under the leadership of Bro. Daniel McCrillis.  They are meeting at the 8201 S. Broadway location. 


Our VISION-
The future is in winning the lost and teaching the saved. We are making plans to expand our present church facilities for more room for Sunday School classes and Christian school.  Our vision is to start at least 4 additional urban chapel outreaches into St. Louis City, and by the grace of God, more churches.
