Bethel Baptist Church

"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it:" Psalm 127:1 (KJV)

Statement of Faith
Fundamental

We believe the doctrines of the historic Christian faith. We believe in the virgin birth and deity of Jesus Christ. We believe that He died for our sins, rose from the grave and is coming again. We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. For reasons of unity within the church, and for textual reliability, we choose to use the King James Version of the Bible.

Independent

No convention, organization, or association exercises any control. We are self-governing.

A church with a regenerate membership.

One may become a member only if he has personally accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior, and has been subsequently baptized by immersion.

Evangelistic

We seek to disseminate a clear message of the Gospel of the grace of God in our own area and around the world.

Scriptural Giving

Bethel Baptist Church is a church that practices Scriptural giving. No fundraisers will be used to support the church. It is supported solely by the free-will offerings of its people.

Separated

We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as to not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord. God commands His people to separate from all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices, and associations; and to refrain from all immodest appearances and to separate from religious apostasy. This includes the National and World Council of Churches, the ecumenical movement and denominations which have abandoned their Biblical teachings for a social gospel.

Patriotic

We appreciate the freedoms of America and stand against lawlessness, socialism, communism, and government intervention in religious affairs.
