Building compassionate and joyful community, freely exploring spiritual paths, and pursuing justice and peace in the way of Jesus.

Since 1958, this calling has shaped who we are and how we live together.

ALL Are Welcome

Inside our front door hangs a tapestry that reads, “All Are Welcome.” It is more than decoration. It is a promise.

Founded during the Civil Rights era, Binkley was built on racial and ecumenical inclusion. That commitment continues today.

We welcome and affirm people of every:

  • Sexual orientation
  • Race and nationality
  • Gender identity
  • Physical ability
  • Economic background
  • Political affiliation

Women serve at every level of leadership, including ordained ministry. Membership is open to Christians from all traditions.

When we say “Y’all means all,” we mean it.

Faith in Action

We believe worship and justice belong together.

From our earliest days, we have made social justice a priority. We were a founding congregation of the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service and continue to partner with organizations that serve our community.

Our building is used throughout the week by service groups and community partners. We believe faith should make a difference beyond our walls.

Connected to the Wider Church

We are affiliated with:

  • American Baptist Churches USA
  • American Baptist Churches of the South
  • The Alliance of Baptists
  • North Carolina Council of Churches
  • Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists

Our spirit has always been ecumenical. The Church is bigger than any one tradition.
