OUR BEGINNING

Bible Baptist Church was started in November of 1976.  The church met in several temporary facilities before it purchased its current location in 1979.  We began as a church dedicated to the spreading of the Gospel message and it remains committed to the same task to this day.

WE ARE BIBLE BELIEVING

The Bible is our sole and final authority.  There is no higher authority than God.  He has given us His Word so we may be able to live our life according to His will.  The Bible is the source for all teaching and preaching at Bible Baptist Church.  Our desire is to conform to His Word, not to the world.

Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

WE ARE INDEPENDENT

We are not associated with any ecclesiastical organizations such as the World Council of Churches or the National Council of Churches.  Bible Baptist Church is a self-governing local assembly of baptized believers led by our Pastor as he is led by Jesus Christ who is the head of the church.  The philosophy of manmade denominations is not found in the Bible.   We do not cooperate with the current ecumenical movement. 

WE ARE FUNDAMENTAL BAPTIST

We are Baptists because of what we believe.  We are not Protestants.  Long before the Protestant Reformation was started, there were Bible believing Baptist people who assembled together, believed and practiced their faith according to the New Testament pattern.  Down through history the true New Testament church can be traced by the following beliefs:

•  Authority of the Scriptures
• The Virgin Birth and Deity of Jesus Christ
• The Substitutionary Death of Jesus Christ
• The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
• Salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ
• Local independent church
• Believer’s baptism by immersion
• Soul liberty
• Priesthood of the believer
• Separation of Church and State

Believers were not always called Baptists down through the ages, but they all believed these fundamental doctrines fully supported by God’s Word.

WE ARE SOUL WINNING

Sharing the Gospel is the responsibility of every believer.  It is a command, not a gift.  The Bible teaches that the nearest thing to God’s heart, is winning of the lost.

 Luke 19:10

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

1 Timothy 1:15

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
