Superstition Foothills Baptist Church
6338 S. Kings Ranch Rd.
Gold Canyon, AZ 85218
Our History
Superstition Foothills Baptist Church is nestled in the shadows of the majestic Superstition Mountains in Gold Canyon. But it received its birth in a valley. As more people began to move into the far East Valley in the 1990's, Queen Valley Baptist Church had a vision to start a church in Gold Canyon. In February 1994, Superstition Foothills Fellowship began meeting in the card room of the Gold Canyon R.V. Resort on East Highway 60. Pastor George and Florence Webb were called to lead the work in March. Through their labor of love and service to the community, the fledgling congregation soon outgrew the card room and had to meet in the adjacent ball room of the resort. (The irony of Baptist church meeting in a card room and ballroom is not lost on those familiar with this denomination which historically has held card playing and dancing with suspicion!) Within a year, there were Sunday School classes for all ages and a Wednesday morning Bible study as well. It wasn’t long before the congregation began to pray for land to build a church structure of their own.
God’s providence was evident in the circumstances that opened the door for the congregation to purchase 6 acres on Kings Ranch Road. Construction was completed in 1997 with help of many volunteer builders from Queen Valley Baptist Church, The North American Mission Board, Arizona Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist Foundation of Arizona, Baptist Builders and Campers on Mission.
Future plans for the church include additional education space, a youth center and 400 seat auditorium.
