Keys Valley Baptist Church
A gospel-centered church and Christ-centered academy proclaiming the whole counsel of God in the heart of Central Texas.
"For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
The Fear of the Lord is the Foundation of True Knowledge.
Every ministry of the church and every classroom of the academy is built on this conviction: reverence for God is where wisdom begins and where a life of true knowledge takes root.
A Church and an Academy
We exist to glorify God through faithful preaching, biblical discipleship, and the classical Christian education of the next generation.

The Scriptures
The Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant, and sufficient Word of God, our supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.
The Gospel
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone, secured by His death and resurrection.
The Church
The local church is a covenant community of baptized believers gathered under the preaching of the Word and the ordinances of Christ.
The Mission
We exist to worship God, disciple believers, evangelize the lost, and prepare families to think and live faithfully in every arena of life.
