Our Mission

At the core of our congregation's values is the belief that worship is not just something we do on Sundays, but a way of life that we live every day. We aim to cultivate a heart of gratitude, recognizing that everything we have comes from God and giving Him praise for it.


Furthermore, we believe that God's Word is living and active, and we approach it with a humble and open mindset, eager to learn from it. We acknowledge that our relationship with God can make a significant impact on our daily lives, and we seek to apply biblical principles in our decisions, relationships, and actions.


Our desire is to build a community that genuinely loves and supports one another, modeling the love of Christ in all that we do. We believe that as we grow together in faith, we will become more like Christ and better equipped to serve Him and others.

What We Believe

We are focused solely on the Bible for our doctrine, teaching, and practical living. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God and that it is useful for guiding and directing our steps, no matter where life takes us.


We believe that the one true God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. 


Psalm 104; Psalm 139; Matthew 10:29-31; 28:19; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:9-12; 4:4-6; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:4-6.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and sacrificed Himself to be punished in substitution for sinners. By the blood of His cross and His resurrection from the dead, He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. He was raised bodily and ascended to the right hand of the Father. He will return to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His kingdom. 


Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-18; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:10-14; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-23; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11; Hebrews 7:25; 9:13-15; 10:19; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 1 John 2:1-2.

We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates and forever indwells all Christians. Either subsequently or at the same moment, Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit to empower believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the kingdom and to empower and edify the church to fulfill its calling and mission. These gifts are subject to judging and are to confirm, and never supersede, what has been revealed in the Bible. 


Joel 2:28; Matthew 3:11; John 1:12-13; Acts 1:8; Acts 8:14-16; John 7:37-39; Romans 8:9; 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 14:29; Ephesians 1:13-14; 5:18.

We believe Adam was created in the image of God, righteous and without sin. In consequence of his disobedience, all people are born subject to sin and are therefore by nature and choice justly condemned in the sight of God, unable to save themselves or to contribute in any way to their acceptance with God. 


Genesis 1-3; Psalm 51:5; Isaiah 53:5; Romans 3:9-18; 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3.

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ritual, work, or any other activity is required in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ. We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever.


John 1:12-13; 6:37-44; 10:25-30; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 3-4; 8:1-17,31-39; 10:8-10; 1 Corinthians 1:4–8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 1:7,9.

History

  • Nine people organized the Seven Springs Missionary Baptist Church in February 1891, with Rev. B. L. Finch as the first Pastor, and services were held once a month.


  • Work began immediately to erect a building on West Spring Street for worship services, and the first service in the new church was on August 1, 1892.


  • For years, the church shared a pastor with three other churches, until full-time services began in 1965.


  • The church also shared its building with the Seven Springs Methodist congregation until 1946 when they moved to their own facility.


  • In 1950, a parsonage was built next to the church, and in 1961 construction of a new brick church was begun.


  • The old parsonage was moved, attached to the back of the education unit, and used for Sunday School rooms.


  • In 1979, the church voted to build a new brick parsonage, and in 1998 the church was incorporated and became known as the Seven Springs Baptist Church.


  • After flooding from Hurricane Floyd in 1999, repairs were made with the help of volunteers, and the church members considered relocating the church.


  • In November 1999, they voted to build a new facility out of the flood zone, and land outside of the village on Highway 55 was donated for this purpose.


  • On October 15, 2000, a ground-breaking ceremony was held, and the new church was completed with the first service on February 3, 2002.


  • Other additions include landscaping, a church sign, and an outbuilding for cooking and storage of equipment.
