We believe that the Bible is God s Word God is our Creator and He exist in three persons God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit We believe that sin has separated us from God and that Jesus came to reconcile us to God We must accept that we are a sinner believe that Jesus died for us confess that Jesus is Lord and follow Jesus with our lives We believe in baptism by immersion as an act of obedience and a demonstration of following Christ We believe that God has equipped each believer with spiritual gifts and we must be involved in the local church to exercise our gifts We believe the destination for believers is Heaven and the destination for the unbeliever is Hell We believe that Jesus is returning again just as He promised

Children’s Ministry

Children are a vital part of the church. We offer Nursery, Children’s Sunday School, and Children’s ​Church. We also have a nice playground where the kids love to go after church services each Sunday. ​During the summer we offer Vacation Bible School and Youth Summer Camp. After the services are over ​each Sunday the kids are encouraged to stop by Pastor Aaron’s Study to get a piece of candy (the door is ​open and adults are encourage to stop by also) , this is a way for the kids to get to know Pastor Aaron and ​ask questions that they might need a some help figuring out the answers to.

Church History

Our Church History

Dry Prairie Baptist Church was established in 1888 in the ​northeast corner of Manatee County, in the rural Duette ​community with twenty-five charter members. The first building ​was erected in a grove of pines off Duette Road a few miles ​south of Highway 62. The church moved into a second building ​in 1913 at the same location. In August of 1948 this building was ​moved to a new location on Highway 62 next to the Duette ​School on five acres of land donated by a benevolent member ​of the community.



In 1952 a new concrete block auditorium was added for worship services and the old structure converted ​into Sunday school rooms. Sometime later the old building was removed and replaced by the block ​structure, which is still in use. With the donation of an additional five acres of land, another educational ​building was added, and later the church added a large fellowship hall, which is well used, especially for ​our first-Sunday dinners.


Dry Prairie Baptist Church has always had a reputation for old-fashioned gospel singing, powerful ​preaching, and a strong bond of fellowship. This friendly and loving congregation reaches out to minister to ​the community, whether they are members of our church or not. Guests will find a warm welcome here.
