About Airline Baptist Church

Airline Baptist Church is a Christ-centered community dedicated to helping families follow Jesus. Our mission is to disciple believers who, in turn, disciple others while making Christ the foundation of everything we do. We seek to impact Airline, Lafayette County, and beyond through Gospel-centered lives. Mayo, FL is a rural, small town with 8,000 total residents, with roughly 2,000 kids under the age of 18. We are proud of our tight-knit community in which our school system plays a vital role and regularly achieves “A” status by the Florida Department of Education. In the heart of Lafayette County, our community in Mayo, FL, is a place where life moves at a slower pace, neighbors feel like family, and faith is at the center of it all. While you won’t find big-city attractions here, you will find a church that loves deeply, a town that supports one another, and plenty of room to make a lasting impact.
