Mission

The mission of Heritage Baptist Church is set forth as follows:

1. The preaching of the glorious Gospel of Christ as a soul-saving institution;

2. The administration of the two ordinances of the New Testament church;

3. The promotion of spiritual growth of its members;

4. The licensing and ordaining of qualified men of this congregation for full time Christian service as pastors of churches, whose doctrinal position is in accordance with the Word of God and this church;

5. The establishment of Christian education and evangelization of the world as a missionary-minded, evangelistically alive, unaffiliated, independent, fundamental, Bible-believing Baptist church.

The covenant by which this church exists as a distinct body, and which every member is to affirm, is as follows:

Having been led, as we believe, by the Holy Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior from sin, and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

We engage therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love, to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to give it a sacred preeminence over all institutions of human origin; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of this church, the relief of the poor, and the evangelization of all peoples.

We also engage to maintain personal and family devotions; to educate our children in the Word of God, bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; to walk circumspectly in the world, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid tattling and backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and/or use of intoxicating drink as a beverage, from the sale and/or use of non-prescription drugs; and to be zealous in our efforts to promote the cause of Christ.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love, to remember each other in prayer,  to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling, and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rule of our Savior - to secure it without delay. 

We further engage that we will endeavor, by example and effort, to win souls to Jesus Christ; and through life, amidst its multiplied trials and joys, will seek to live to the glory of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. 

We moreover engage that, when we remove ourselves from this church, we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.


Monthly Devotional

“And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.” - Ezekiel 33:31

There is much in all of life that is not what it appears to be. On the surface, one could conclude it to be so. But, going deeper reveals something else altogether: sometimes sinister, sometimes deadly, or sometimes perverted– but always deceptive.

James 1:22, says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own souls.” It is incredible how much effort we put into being deceived by others when ultimately the deception comes from within ourselves. Let’s cite some examples, though these are not the sum total of all that goes on in life. We are interested in buying or renting a house. We drive up and look at it from the outside, and check it over a second time. It is to our liking by what we see. Then we go inside and inspect the rooms, the flooring, the appliances, the a/c and heat. Our entire time of inspecting however, is on the basis of the outside only. We go ahead and get the house, and slowly and surely discover major and expensive problems that were there had we checked. The house was not what it appeared to be.

The same is true with things, or groups, or churches, or people. We can, and should try to check out as much as we can about those we become involved with, but even then we do not know the extent of everything. There is an element of trust involved, yet we must always remember Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” The LORD knows the hearts of all people, but we do not know the extent of what our hearts are capable of. The examples of this are so numerous, we could take years citing them all, and by then, there would be a whole new list.

May this serve as a warning to each of us: things and people may not be what or who they appear to be. Impulsive action on our part, based on primarily the external, can injure or cause us to compromise or worse, destroy our testimonies for Christ.
