What You Will Notice About Us
Every church is different. Each has its own points of emphasis (1 Corinthians 12:4-6). When you arrive at THE BIBLE Baptist Church you will see that God has provided us with a functional building, suited for our needs. It is clean but not elaborate. We feel no need for extravagant trappings or decorations, choosing rather to spend what is necessary on the building so that the rest can be devoted to gospel outreach.
We trust you will be made to feel welcome when you first come to visit. At the same time, we do not call upon or publicly identify our visitors. We want them to feel a part of the group not singled out or embarrassed by a great deal of attention.
There are many different ways to praise the Lord in music and in song. We have chosen to use the congregational singing of traditional hymns, played and sung in a conservative fashion. It is our belief that this style of music allows for greater participation by men and women of all ages and lends itself to more rapid memorization of these songs of faith. The depth and quality of the lyrics, and their ability to teach Biblical truth to the singer is another important reason why we use this style of music.
You will soon notice our emphasis is on the Bible. Whether you hear the pastor, one of our gifted members, or a guest speaker, there will be a consistent and faithful presentation of what the Bible says. Every effort will be made to help you understand the words of the Lord and to encourage you to apply their truths to your day to day life.
After our meetings formally close, it is not unusual for people to linger for hours, enjoying the company of true friends. Life-long relationships are made and strengthened in these after-church fellowship sessions. Boys and girls have a grand time playing in the church yard and adults discuss the joys and struggles of the Christian life.
What We Believe - Our Statement of Doctrinal Beliefs
We believe in the absolute authority of the Holy Scriptures. We believe the original manuscripts were given by inspiration of God and were without error. We believe the God who gave His word to man has taken upon Himself the responsibility for its preservation (Psalms 12:6-7). We believe the incorruptible word of God which cannot pass away is available to the English speaking world in the Authorized (King James) Version. This Bible is our final authority in all matters.
We believe in one God eternally existent as the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost.
We believe God to be the creator and sustainer of all things, visible and invisible. We believe the universe and all that is therein to be held together by the word of His power.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ to be God manifest in the flesh, virgin born, without sin, crucified, risen and coming again to receive His church, then returning to establish His kingdom.
We believe salvation is available to all men by grace through faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, apart from human works or merit of any kind.
We believe the saved child of God is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ, and is sealed, taught, and comforted by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption.
We believe salvation makes one a member of the body of Christ and the members of this body should gather together in a local church where they may minister one to another.
We believe it is the responsibility of every believer to proclaim the saving gospel to all men by personal testimony and by giving of their means to finance the missionary efforts of the church.
We believe all men rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ will spend eternity in the conscious torment of a literal lake of fire, while those receiving the Lord Jesus Christ will spend eternity in the glorious presence of God.
We believe all saved men should be separate from the outward and inner ways of this world, being holy in mind and body. We believe, however, that righteousness does not come by keeping of laws and commandments but by an inner change of heart. We therefore place emphasis on the inner condition, trusting the outward appearance to follow accordingly.
We believe that water baptism is a public testimony made by the saved Christian and plays no part in salvation or making one a member of the church.
We believe that any attempt by the state to interfere with the working of the church or by the church to interfere with the working of the state is a violation of God's purpose for both.
We believe in the priesthood of all believers and decry any fashion of exalting one member of the body of Christ, or one gift of the Spirit above another.
We believe that the church is a body of which Jesus is the head. Thus it is not a democracy to be run by the will of its members but is to conduct its temporal as well as its spiritual business in strict accordance to the word of God.
