About Us

“Primitive” in our name refers to our objective to preserve simple—original as nearly as possible—Christianity. In an age of complexities and over-specialization in all areas of our culture, churches included, our church seeks to follow simple Christian worship of a cappela, congregational singing, public prayer, preaching of the gospel, and fellowship. Families worship together from young children to senior citizens. The church encourages a familial spirit in its worship and in its fellowship.

We believe that each local church is an independent body, accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ for its faith and practice, though we cherish fellowship with believers of like faith and practice. Our theological emphasis is on the doctrines of grace, that God alone saves sinners by his sovereign grace. We equally promote personal godliness in our members (2 Timothy 2:19). We believe in the Second Coming and appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory, “…every eye shall see him” (Revelation 1:7), followed by a general judgment and eternity; conscious eternal punishment for the wicked and conscious eternal blessing for the redeemed (John 5:28-29).

Welcome!

Evangelism

Primitive Baptists believe in Bible evangelism. As in the early church , "they went everywhere preaching the word" (Acts 8:4), so Primitive Baptists today go as the Spirit directs them. Wherever "effectual doors" (I Cor. 16:9) are opened, Primitive Baptists will be found. It is recognized, however, that on one occasion the apostles were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6), and in Bithynia (Acts 16:7). Evangelistic effort, therefore, is at the direction of the Holy Ghost. Primitive Baptists believe that the Doctrines of Grace are the only true bases for Bible evangelism.

The Local Church

Primitive Baptists believe that God's house (the local church) is a resting place of world-worn travelers, born again believers in Jesus Christ who have renounced the world and its pleasures and have given themselves to Christ and to one another in a gospel church way. These, having been baptized on a profession of their faith in Christ Jesus, have bound themselves by the solemn ordinance to live in compliance with the doctrine which is according to godliness: to attend regularly the public worship services, to minister to the saints, and to be godly and just in their everyday dealings with their fellow men. Only by so doing can believers properly glorify their Father in heaven who, according to his own sovereign grace and mercy, has reserved for them and the elect of all ages, an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away in heaven (I Peter 1:4).
