"Selah"

We are:

Fundamental

Confident belief in the inerrant and literal interpretation of the Bible and that is is as relevant today as the day it was written.

It is the sole authority for all matters of faith and its practice, as well as for daily living.

Bible Preaching & Teaching

Our only perfect source of revelation in regard to spiritual truth, and our textbook.

We preach and teach from the Bible in an expository way, that is, books or teachings of the Bible are read, explained according to the everyday meaning of the words unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

We use the Kings James Version of the Bible, believing it to be the translation for English speaking peoples.

Christ Centered

As our all sufficient savior, we preach, teach and counsel only that which emanates from Him in His word.

From beginning to end the Bible exposes man's sin, his inability to do deal with that sin and satisfy a holy God, and the need for a savior.

There is one and only one savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the center of God's plan of salvation. It is in Him alone, no other, that one must trust for forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Independent

We are a local church, supporting ourselves through the grace of God in all matters of finance, polity, administration and worship.

We have no hierarchy or denomination to "strongly recommend" or detract from our testimony.

Premillennial In Hope

The Bible predicts a yet future time of tribulation for the unbelieving peoples of the earth.

The Bible also predicts that those who are alive at that time and have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior will be taken off the earth and into the presence of the Lord before that time known as the Tribulation period begins.

Our eschatology remains fixed as to our Lord's return to Earth with His saints prior to establishing a literal 1,000 year reign of righteousness on earth.

We also are pretribulational, believing that our Lord will catch us up to be with Him before the tribulation on earth begins.

Evangelistic

The teaching whereby the local church and the believer are obedient to the command of Mark 16:15 ".Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

We are responsible to give forth the gospel and to give the people opportunity to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior from sin, when it is convenient and when it is not, whether by our personal witness or public invitation in the church.

An evangelistic (soul-winning) emphasis affects our prayer lives, our private lives, our vision, and is successful when accompanied by God's power.

If you bring a lost person to our church, you can be assured that they will have the gospel woven into the message and be given opportunity to be saved.

Scriptural In Our Music - Rejecting The CCM Movement

We sing the traditional old hymns of the faith that are based on sound doctrine found in the Kings James Bible. We sing our hymns both with and without the accompaniment of a piano or organ. We sing the old hymns of worship and praise, always remembering that we are worshipping the Lord of Glory, singing to the LORD and not entertaining ourselves.

We believe that our music should always be honoring to the LORD and that it should prepare our hearts to commune with Him both during the singing and afterwards as we are fed from the word of God.

Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

We hope that after visiting you will prayerfully consider Heritage Baptist Church as your church home.

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.
