Below is our 2025 theme song by Matthew West titled:
“My Story Your Glory!”
OUR 2025 THEME SCRIPTURE PASSAGE IS:
1 Corinthians 10:31b
31b . . . whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. NKJV
Is your walk with the Lord THRIVING? Are you looking for ENCOURAGEMENT? Do you need a NEW BEGINNING?
If you don’t already attend a GREAT CHURCH where there is an EXCITEMENT in the air and a PASSION for Christ, we’d love to have you in our services at West Republic Baptist Church this Sunday!

OUR PASTOR
Pastor Chris Beck is the pastor of West Republic Baptist Church (WRBC). Beck is a graduate of Republic High School, and he is married to his best friend, Dana, who is a retired public school teacher and who now teaches as an adjunct professor at Mission University. They have a son, Lincoln, who is already in heaven. He was three years old when he left this world for the next.
Pastor Chris is excited about the ministry at WRBC. “God is doing great things at our church,”
Chris says. “In this fast-paced technological society, people are looking for something solid, something true, something lasting. We’re excited to share the hope that we have–and that they can have– in Christ with our community!”
Chris has a background in Christian broadcasting and Communication. After graduation from RHS, he graduated from Baptist Bible College (now Mission University) with a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Theology.

TEACHING/PREACHING FROM PASTOR BECK
