Faith. Passion. Community. Worship. These are the cornerstones behind Vaughan Baptist Church and we approach each day with these in mind. Founded in 1897, our church was established on the ideals of serving God in word and deed and impacting our community and our world in the name of Jesus Christ.

A Word to Rev. Mariann Budde - "Speak Truth!"
Rev. Mariann Budde said during her "sermon" at the Inaugural Prayer Service, “I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, Independent families — some who fear for their lives.”
Mariann Budde, you and so many around the world claim to speak as a representative of God. Yet, you and they are all false prophets and a shame to the true church of Christ, the scriptures and the one true God.
With that platform, a true prophet would be telling all the people of our nation and world about the truth!
You speak of unity. If you knew the scriptures or believed in them as the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God (which apparently you don't!), you would know that there will never be unity apart from salvation in Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit through born again believers in Jesus Christ. Unity will only ever be experienced among the brethren because of the Holy Spirit's work in their lives.
I beg you to repent of your unbelief, your religious theater; to lay aside your Pharisee ways; to stop parading around as many like you do "as a wolf in sheep's clothing," playing the harlot to Christ's great work - and be saved!
I'm not just calling you out, Mariann Budde, but all of you out there that disgrace the body of Christ by calling yourselves Reverends, Bishops, Preachers, Prophets, etc. Yet, you don't even believe the Bible is truth. You don't think the Bible trustworthy enough for you to surrender to its teachings on the requirements to hold its ordained positions. You, “brood of vipers,” only teach lies, for political purposes, for personal gain and vanity. You promote sin and rejoice in it.
May God have mercy on you all in the day you stand before His judgement seat!
That's the mercy you need to be concerned about for yourself and the people of this world!!!
Jesus will give you that grace and mercy if you acknowledge what Romans 10:9-10 says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
May the fear of the wrath of God illuminate the salvation of God and move men to their knees in repentance!

Pastor's thoughts
01.21.25
"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law."
Psalm 119:18
Friends, this is another example of scripture we should be praying back to God for ourselves!
This is a bold cry to the Lord. I wonder how many folks, believers or heathens, have ever considered praying such a prayer then turning to the Word of God.
Here's the thing. When you pray a prayer like this, you better be serious about accepting what His Word will reveal to you. Here lies the reason so many don't pray like this or spend time in the scriptures, because the scriptures search the heart which reveals the depth of our depravity, sin, disobedience and wickedness.
When faced with these realities and convictions, we are forced to make a choice. Jesus said, "Take up your cross and follow me." Most were sad, turned back and didn't follow Him because they loved their current lives, sin and lifestyle more than the Savior. You see, filling the lusts of the flesh in their short present life was more important than building up treasures in heaven and more important than their concerns over their eternal resting place!
If a person never has a real estimation of their true condition then they cannot place a proper value on the work that was done to deliver them from such a condition.
I tell VBC each week before the message to pray for God to speak directly to them from His Word and for their obedient response to what the Holy Spirit speaks.
Seeing wondrous things from His Word initiates a response to those wondrous things.
Pray the scriptures boldly but be obedient in your response!
God Bless you All,
Pastor Ray Renn

On behalf of Vaughan Baptist Church, we'd like to say thank you to the approximately 600 people that attended our live nativity on the 13th and 14th. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped in any capacity to make this outreach possible. We had volunteers from five different churches give of their time and resources. As always it was a privilege to share the good news of Jesus Christ our Savior with you all and fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We'll see you all next year, Lord willing!
Thank you and God Bless,
Pastor Ray Renn

Haiti Mission Project
I hope you all are doing well this New Year. I just wanted to take a moment and share some updates on our ministry partnership with Haiti. In December I met with the mission team at Lake Gaston Baptist to discuss the future vision for our ministry partnerships in Haiti. During our meeting we discussed in more detail the plans to establish a standalone ministry for continuing to grow and expand the partnership and reach in Haiti. We are currently exploring the legal formation of Center Faith Ministries which will be a 501C3 non-profit organization that will be the partner to Center Faith Ministries already established by Clenel in Haiti. This will allow our churches, organizations, individuals etc. to give tax deductible contributions directly to the ministry and for the board of directors along with the ministry director to work hand in hand with the Center Faith Ministries director in Haiti and carry out the vision and ministry of reaching Haiti in a greater way. The board of directors currently includes Adam Hammond (Chair), Ray Renn, Laura Renfrow, Jason Patterson, Clenel Preval, Paul Shorter and at least one other lady TBA. Laura and I will keep VBC posted as this ministry takes shape. Please pray for the process of forming Center Faith Ministries and the Board of Directors.

In October, VBC voted in our 2024-2025 year budget to sponsor Clenel's family in Haiti in the amount of $4800.00 annually. The family home in Haiti consists of his mom, dad, some of his younger siblings and some of his nieces and nephews. Clenel's parents have expressed deep gratitude and praise to the Lord for the help God has sent to them by way of VBC. Clenel shared that in Haiti, if a young girl does not get an education, she has no chance of getting a job which leaves her very few options. One of those few options is she will likely become a prostitute or sex slave just to be able to live. This was a disturbing reality Clenel shared with me. However, I was encouraged because Clenel said that one of his nieces is now able to go to school because of the support God provided through VBC. There is a picture below of her in her school uniform. She will have a much greater chance of survival and a better life because of this support.
Clenel's wife Lovely just returned from Haiti. She was there for the annual wedding and baptism services they hold each year. There are pictures of these services below. These weddings and baptisms are a result of the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation and repentance of sin in these individual's and couples' lives. You see, marriage is not something of great importance in Haitian culture, particularly among the poor and heathen. What is amazing, is when these people and couples get saved, they start walking with the Lord and absorbing the Word of God. They then feel the need and conviction to repent of their sin. New converts are baptized and couples living in sin outside of marriage are baptized and joined together in marriage before God.
Wow! Salvation brings conviction and repentance of sin in people's lives! Oh Lord, our "Christian" culture in America needs some of that!!!
While Lovely was there she visited "The Field" that we are hoping to purchase through the "Buy The Field" campaign. Below is a picture of Lovely standing in the field. She and Clenel have been in contact with the owner of the property regularly, and he has been graciously holding the property despite several higher offers from other purchasers. The owner wants the property to benefit the people through this ministry, but due to changing circumstances, he now will need to sell the property more urgently. Unfortunately, the owner has notified us that he will have to sell the property to another buyer if we can't complete the purchase before March 2025. The land purchase will be approximately $30,000.00 which is half of our goal of $60,000.00 to complete the vision for this mission. We have currently collected around $3800.00 towards our goal. Please PRAY for God's will to be done! If He wants us to have this property, He will provide the means necessary to make it happen. If not, then He has other arrangements for us in His time. Please pray about this situation and if God lays it on your heart to give please be obedient in doing so!
