Who Are we?
Beliefs
- We believe the Bible, consisting of 66 books in the Old and New Testaments, is the Divinely inspired and infallible Word of God and is without error in its original manuscripts. It offers the rule of faith and practice for Christians.
- We believe salvation from sin, death, and hell is a gift received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Nothing in regard to a person’s salvation is by their own effort; it is totally a work of God.
- We believe God the Father rules as sovereign King over the universe; He owns everything and is the rightful ruler of everyone.
- We believe that Christ Jesus is the Son of God and is the living head of the Church.
- We believe the Holy Spirit is the living and active third Person of the Triune Godhead.

MIKE SWEITZER
EXECUTIVE PASTOR
Mike's Story... "My upbringing as a "PK" profoundly shaped me. While I once resisted the expectations, I now deeply value the spiritual foundation and principles instilled through Dad's ministry. His dedication to the Lord and his calling to TBC opened countless opportunities and guided my life's path.
For over fifty years, TBC has been my spiritual home. I've had the privilege of serving in numerous roles, from Sunday School teacher to deacon, and I'm eager to continue contributing, particularly in administrative capacities. I'm especially passionate about making new visitors feel welcome and helping them find their place within our TBC family."

RUTH KOVAC
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY DIRECTOR
"I am honored to serve as the Children's Ministry Director at Tipton Baptist Church. For many years, I had the privilege of serving as the Director of our Daycare and Preschool Program, where I enjoyed working with children and their families. After retiring from that role in June 2025, I had the opportunity to continue investing in the lives of the children of our church through this ministry.
As a longtime member of Tipton Baptist Church, I am grateful for the opportunity to help children learn about God's love and grow in their faith."
