Our Baptist network of churches takes inspiration from the symbolism embodied by the Golden Spike National Monument as it represents the unity and connection among diverse entities towards a common goal. Just as the joining of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads marked the completion of the first transcontinental railroad, our network stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and faith. Each individual church, like the railroads, brings its unique strengths and contributions, yet together we form a unified body, faithfully connected in our mission to proclaim the Gospel and serve our communities. By adopting the name of the Golden Spike National Monument, we honor the spirit of cooperation and unity that underpins our collective efforts in spreading the message of Christ’s love and salvation.
