Our Core

What We Believe

We believe God exists in one essence as three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit

We believe Jesus is the Son of God, fully-God and fully-human, and the Messiah who came to earth to reconcile humanity to God

We believe the Holy Spirit is one with God the Father and Jesus Christ, and that those who accept Christ as their Savior will receive the Holy Spirit

We believe God has conquered sin in human lives, resulting in deliverance, healing, and restored lives

We believe the church is a community of believers, the body of Christ, and God's instrument for spreading the gospel. It's a place of worship, spiritual growth, and fellowship, where Christians gather to learn, pray, and support one another. The church also has a mission to serve others and make disciples.

We believe Jesus Christ will return to Earth after his ascension to Heaven

We believe every christian should strive towards a life of love, compassion, justice, fairness, forgiveness, reconciliation, and stewardship

We believe those who have trusted in Christ as savior will be raised from the dead and receive eternal heaven

We consider the Bible to be the inspired word of God, containing truths about God, His creation, and His plan for humanity. It provides guidance for living a Christian life and understanding God's will.

We believe in one God, who is the creator and sustainer of all things

Our Pastor & Wife

Paseo Baptist Church

Pastor LaRon M. Thompson is a proud native of Kansas City, KS, and a 2009 graduate of F.L. Schlagle High School. His journey took him to Morehouse College, where his relationship with God deepened, shaping him into a devoted leader. From a young age, LaRon was passionate about serving God and His people, actively participating in the choir and youth usher board, which taught him the sacrifices inherent in ministry.

He began his ministry as Youth Department volunteer and would eventually become the Worship Pastor at House of Prayer Evangelistic Church under the guidance of his parents, Pastor Benard and Evangelist Trina Crawford. In 2018, he felt a divine calling to become the Interim Pastor of the historic Paseo Baptist Church. After two years of faithful service, he was appointed as the Senior Pastor.

Pastor Thompson is deeply committed to community service, having served on various community boards, and currently chairs the Kansas City Boys and Girls Choir. He builds meaningful relationships with everyone he meets, embracing the opportunity to impact lives positively. He is also committed to advancing his education at Faith Bible College in Independence, Missouri, believing that a solid foundation, progressive education, and personal revelation pave the way to success.

In 2020, Pastor T married his soulmate, affectionately known as Lady K. This connection, rooted in their shared experiences at Spelman and Morehouse, is one that he believes is ordained by God. Together, they joyfully raise their two sons, Jaedon and Kaleb, and dedicate themselves to serving God and their community. Through the power of the Almighty and the vision given by the sovereign Lord, Pastor T and his family are resolved to connect Christ to the Church and the community at large.
