A church family devoted to loving God and serving people.

Founded in 1923, Mt. Paran Baptist Church has been a place where faith, family, and community come together in the heart of Branford, Florida. As a proud member of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Florida Baptist Convention, our church is rooted in biblical teaching and guided by our mission to Love. Serve. Grow.

We are a traditional Southern Baptist church with a welcoming spirit and a heart for reaching others. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church home, you’ll find a community that values worship, discipleship, and service.

Our weekly gatherings include Sunday School at 10:00 a.m., Worship at 11:00 a.m., and Wednesday night fellowship with a meal at 6:00 p.m. followed by classes for all ages at 6:30 p.m. From our youngest children to our college students and adults, there’s a place for everyone to learn and grow together.

Led by Pastor Spencer Corbett, Mt. Paran Baptist Church strives to make God’s love known—both within our walls and throughout our community. Through heartfelt worship, service opportunities, and connection with one another, we aim to help every person who walks through our doors discover who we are, what we believe, and how they can grow in faith.

From our Congregation

“I love Mt. Paran because it feels like family—people who love Jesus and love my family and our kids.”

Trey Byrd

“I love my church because from the very first day, I’ve felt a true sense of belonging and everyone feels like family. We sing the old hymns I cherish, but most important  it’s a Bible-preaching church!”
