About Us
The ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church is to win the lost, baptize, teach, train and care for them until they are mature and can spiritually reproduce.
We invite you to give us an opportunity to show you our concern for your spiritual welfare.
Church Covenant
Having been led, as we believe by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 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 contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the Church, the relief of the poor, and the spreading of the Gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale of, and use of, intoxicating drinks as a beverage; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place 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.
Church Doctrine
We believe the Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 as the verbally inspired, infallible Word of God (2 Peter 1:20-21).
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of Mary, a virgin, and is the Son of God and God the Son (Isaiah 7:14 and John 1:1).
We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God (Romans 3:24-26).
We believe that Christ rose from the grave the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-19).
We believe that Christ will come again in person, bodily and visibly ( Acts 1:9-11).
We believe that in order to be saved, you must be born again by the Grace of God (John 3:3 and Ephesians 2:8-9).
We believe that every true born again person will declare this faith by the act of baptism (Immersion in water) setting forth the Lord's death, burial and resurrection. (Romans 6:3-6).
We believe that the Church is a local, visible body of baptized believers whose mission is to preach the gospel, win the lost, baptize and make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe in the eternal security of every true born again soul (Romans 8:30-39 and 1 Peter 1:5).
