About Us

So we, though many, are one body in Christ. (Romans 12:5)

We are a community of faith committed to following the teachings of Jesus Christ in a way that is inclusive, compassionate, and transformative. We believe that all people are made in the image of God and that diversity is a gift from the Creator. We seek to positively engage with our community and the world around us sharing the good news and love of Jesus.

Langley's Mission

We are a Christ - centered family who values a mission - minded approach to serving those around us while making great first impressions with visitors in order to continue growing as a family.

CHRIST CENTERED FAMILY- As a family united in faith, we seek God’s direction and put Him first in all of the activities of our congregation. We pray for His guidance, that we may glorify Him in all that we do. We truly believe that Langley Baptist Church is a family united in our faith in Jesus Christ. We strive to promote an atmosphere that encourages getting to know one another and building relationships. We are convinced that the best way to grow as Christians is to walk with one another and experience the ups and downs of life together. This is not a church where you will get lost in the crowd. Each and every person is a valuable part of God’s plan and we welcome you to be a part of the family here at Langley.

MISSION MINDED– Jesus commanded us to not only love those around us but to also spread the gospel to all nations. We seek to serve the community in which we reside and also communities in other areas. Our aim is to allocate the resources that we are provided in an efficient manner to carry out this mission. We are involved in giving to ministries such as Rise Against Hunger, as well as sending volunteers to Langley Elementary School, HELP, Inc. and other local organizations.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS– When you visit Langley Baptist we want you to feel welcome, safe, and comfortable worshipping the Lord with us. It is our goal to show God’s love to each person who walks through our doors.

GROWING– We believe it is our duty to spread the gospel and teach others about Jesus Christ. We actively pray that our church grows so that we may see people come to know Christ.

Pastor Ben Barrow

To much is forgiven, much is loved! My name is Ben Barrow and God has blessed me with the privilege of being lead pastor here at Langley. Just wanna share a little about myself with you. I was born and raised in Norfolk, Va. in a Christian household and confessed Jesus as my Savior at 6 years old.
As a teen I strayed away for a while and eventually hit rock bottom. I sought my dad for help and he immediately asked me, “have you prayed, prayed to God!?” When he said that (ver passionately), it’s like a light came on for me that day! I cried out to God and asked Him if He saved my life, I would live for Him for the rest of my life! I’ve never ever been the same since!
I was excited to serve in ministry wherever I could. Within a couple years of serving in various ministries I felt God was calling me to pursue Bible college. So, I attended Tidewater Bible College in Va. Beach and earned a Bachelors degree in Christian Leadership (2008). God gave me an opportunity in 2010 in which I was extremely honored. I served as the Youth minister (5 years) at All Nations Church in Newport News, Va. and in 2012 became the full-time associate pastor on staff. After many great years of hands on ministry, I felt God calling us to a new season. He graciously transitioned me and my family here to Langley in July 2023. 
We have felt the love and support of the Langley fam! My prayer is to love people, lead them to Jesus, see them grow in discipleship and transformation in their lives. I have a beautiful wife, Christy and 5 wonderful children. I love my family and enjoy going fishing, playing sports, hitting the beach or just relaxing watching a movie. 

We'd love to meet you!
