WHAT WE BELIEVE

PURPOSE STATEMENT

WHAT'S YOUR PURPOSE

Old Bethel Baptist Church ( Silent Hill) was organized sometime in the late 1800's. After an eight year period of inactivity, the church was reorganized in 1921. In 1960, a new building was constructed and in the mid- 1970's, a new auditorium and fellowship hall were added. In the early -1990's the people of the church built a parsonage. The church launched out in faith in 1999 and purchased a 6 acre tract of land where new facilities would be built to accommodate the fast growing congregation. The congregation labored sacrificially in giving and in building, to bring this vision to past. Our facilities include a full sized gymnasium, an auditorium, educational and office space, a full kitchen, a large playground, pavilion, and a vision to expand when needed. We give God the glory all the way! Old Bethel Baptist Church has vision of moving forward in ministry, missions, and outreach. To God be the glory!!

At Old Bethel Baptist Church, we believe in the Verbal, Absolute Inspiration of the Scripture, and that God's Word has authority in our lives.

We believe God is a Trinity, Man is fallen sinner, Satan is real, Heaven and Hell are both literal places, and Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was God-made flesh, born of a virgin, His life sinless, His blood atoning, His body Resurrected, and that Justification is by Grace and thru Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, the Eternal Security of the Believer, the Imminent, Pre-tribulation, Pre-Millennial Return of Christ, As a Church, we are serious about Worldwide Missions as our obligation, the Autonomy of the Local Church, and the Priesthood of the Believer.

We practice the 2 Biblical ordinances of Baptism by Immersion and the Lord's Supper, which we receive numerous times throughout the year.

The Church has: Pastor and Elder/Deacon body, meeting the Biblical requirements of Acts 6 and I Timothy 3.

Simply to do what Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20

GO, TEACH, BAPTIZE

GO - Yes, we are going at OBBC with Services, Ministries, Missions, Bible Studies, VBS, Bus Ministry, work at Homeless Shelters, & much more. But all of this busyness can be worthless if there is no teaching going on.

TEACH - Our goal is to teach ALL the WORD OF GOD, not our ideas or thoughts. We don't just tell stories. Our pastor goes deep into the Word of God with much study and prayer to bring understanding to the church of all the Word, yes even Leviticus. LOL, but Praise the LORD!

BAPTIZE - We practice water baptism for the picture of true baptism; what truly should be taking place in the heart of a believer. Washing all your thoughts away and arising up as a whole new creature being transformed with His thoughts. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jer 29:11

The Question must be ask of you. “ Where will you spend eternity?”

Let’s face the fact that 10 out of 10 people die; therefore, it would be wise to make preparation before your time is up!
Proverbs 27:1 “ Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”
Hebrews 9:27 “ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

Let’s face the fact that my goodness, my good works, and my religion, will not secure me a place in Heaven nor keep me out of Hell.
Isaiah 64:6 “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; ....”
Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Let’s face the fact that God loves everyone.
John 3:16 “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Let’s face the fact that all people are sinners.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

Let’s face the fact that sin must be paid for.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Let’s rejoice in the fact that Jesus Christ paid that price for us.
Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Let’s accept by faith the fact that you can trust in Christ as your Savior for what He has done at Calvary for you and accept God’s gift of salvation which is freely given to you.
Romans 10: 9-10; 13 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

God gives you the choice today!! Accept Him or Reject Him

In Jesus name I pray Amen”
