Faith in Action. Truth in Motion. Hope in Christ.
At True Words Baptist Church, serving Louisville means more than charity — it means compassion with conviction.
We serve through the Gospel, helping people not only with physical needs but with the truth that saves souls for eternity.
Every meal given, every ride offered, every hand extended is done in the name of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
1. Soul-Winning and Gospel Outreach
The greatest way we serve Louisville is through the preaching of the Gospel.
We go door to door across the city every week, sharing the good news that salvation is through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
- Door-to-door evangelism throughout West Louisville

Many people want to be in church but have no way to get there.
Our transportation ministry ensures everyone who wants to hear the Word of God can come and grow.
Luke 14:23
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
- Free rides to all Sunday and Thursday services

3. Food and Clothing Distribution
We meet physical needs to open hearts to the Gospel.
Our church regularly distributes food, clothing, and essentials to families struggling in Louisville’s hardest neighborhoods.
James 2:15-17
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
- Free grocery and meal events
- Clothing drives for families and the homeless
- Partnership with local shelters for extended care
Give So We Can Reach More People With the Gospel
4. Helping the Homeless
We go directly into the streets, shelters, and camps of Louisville bringing both help and hope.
Our goal is not just to comfort bodies — but to save souls.
Matthew 25:35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.
- Regular visits with food, hygiene kits, and Bibles
- Personal prayer and salvation outreach
- Guidance toward shelters and local aid
5. Youth and Children’s Ministry
We reach the next generation with the same Word that changed ours.
From Sunday School to youth Bible studies, every lesson points young hearts to faith, obedience, and purpose.
Deuteronomy 6:7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way.
- Interactive Bible classes for children and teens
- Youth activities focused on truth and testimony

We need more workers to help with every ministry including the youth and children’s ministry. The children out in the streets need your help. Join us today!
6. Community Service and Volunteer Work
We don’t wait for opportunities — we make them.
From helping widows and the elderly to cleaning neighborhoods, we put the Gospel to work in practical ways.
Galatians 5:13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
- Helping the elderly, widows, and families in crisis

7. Weddings and Funerals — Serving Families at Life’s Turning Points
We believe every major moment in life should honor God.
Our church provides free wedding and funeral services for members and guests, ensuring Christ is exalted from beginning to end. The only catch is that we perform the services and preach the Gospel during the services.
Romans 12:15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
- Traditional biblical weddings
- Christ-centered funerals and memorials
- Counseling for marriage, grief, and family guidance
