How serious is your faith? How serious are you about what God says in His Word? It is imperative that we know what the Bible says and be assured that it is correct. If the Bible is true (and it is) then we must be strong and secure in our convictions about it. Here is a story from MSNBC about how Americans feel about their religious beliefs.

What Is An Independent Baptist Church?

On this page we will try to explain what constitues an Independent Baptist Church, and why we think that it is important. We hope this page will be helpful to you.

Again, if you have more questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Independent

By “Independent” we mean:

• We are an autonomous congregation. As such, this congregation functions directly under Christ’s leadership.
• We are not affiliated with, nor do we take direction or orders from any Denominational office or board.
• Every financial & spiritual decision is made by the congregation of Grace Baptist Church without outside influence.
• Although independent, we declare our dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Head of this church.

Baptist

The best way to describe a Baptist is to describe what a Baptist believes. This can be done with the following acrostic.

Church

A local church is a called-out assembly of Believers in Christ, who have been Scripturally baptized by immersion, and covenant together to follow Christ.
The local church is God’s agency for reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are unashamedly Bible-Believing Baptists, and as such we are identified by what we believe.

Here we will list a few of the truths of God’s Word that we hold dear. To read our complete statement of faith, please click here.

We believe…

The Bible to be the inspired Word of God. It is upon the authority of God’s Word that we base our beliefs.

We believe that God is eternal, without beginning or end and reigns supreme over all creation.
(Psalm 90:2, Psalm 135:6)

We believe in the Trinity.

We believe man was created perfect and granted a free will to obey or disobey God.

We believe that man chose to disobey God and now must bear the penalty of sin which will ultimately lead to an eternity in Hell. (Romans 5:12, Revelation 21:8)

We believe that God sent His only Son to pay the penalty for sin and grant us eternal life. This was accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection. (Romans 5:8, 6:23)

We believe that the gift of eternal life is free to all who will accept it by faith. It cannot be worked for. Once received, it cannot be taken away. (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 10:28-30)

We believe that all who have accepted this gift of salvation will enter into Heaven immediately after death or upon the rapture of the saints.

We believe that the rapture will take place at God’s appointed time prior to the Tribulation period.

We believe that the church is a local assembly of baptized believers, operating autonomously, with the deacons as helpers, the pastor as overseer, and Christ as its head. We do not affiliate ourselves or endorse any group, trend or philosophy which promotes the de-emphasizing of Biblical authority. Examples are, but are not limited to: the Ecumenical Movement, Neo-Orthodoxy, the modern tongues movement, or what may be termed a “seeker sensitive” approach to evangelism
