LABC was established in 1976 as the First Free Will Baptist Church and for many years was located on Kruger Street in Elm Grove. In 1986, we purchased the present day property; later having our first church service in this building on Easter Sunday of 1990.
We became an independent Baptist church and changed our name to Lava Avenue Baptist Church in 1998. By the Grace of God, we have remained faithful to the fundamental beliefs of the Word of God and have not allowed the social pressures of society to cause us to compromise.
In August of 2002, our current Pastor, Shaun Borner and his wife Marie came to Wheeling and began serving in our church. Since then, the Lord has blessed with many souls saved and baptized, families added to the church and lives directed in serving the Lord.
After all these years, we continue to be an active church; looking for ways to show the love of Christ by helping others and leading people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Our family would love to have the opportunity to meet you at one of our upcoming services.
