"Reaching...  Teaching...  Releasing..."

OUR HISTORY

Piney Grove Baptist Church was established on August 12,1869, when the 14 founders met in a school house near the site of our present facilities. It was the day when the prayers and vision of a few became a reality, which has been a great blessing to countless people throughout the years. The Sunday School was organized on July 1,1872. Piney Grove Baptist Church affiliated as a Southern Baptist Church.  On July 20th, of 2016, Piney Grove chose to withdraw its affiliation.  Piney Grove Baptist Church is now a non-affiliated baptist fellowship of believers.

​

OUR FOUR PILLARS

At Piney Grove, we believe in:

• Proclaiming the authoritative, clear Word of God without apology (2 Timothy 4:1-5, 1 Thessalonians 2:3-13)

• Genuine worship by lifting high the name of Jesus Christ (Mark 12:30, John 4:23-24, John 12:32)

• Fervently believing in the power of prayer (Jeremiah 33:3, Ephesians 6:18)

• Intentionally sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and in service (Matthew 9:36-38, Romans 1:16, Ephesians 6:19-20)

​

OUR MISSION

The mission of Piney Grove Baptist Church is:

• to REACH individuals for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ

• to TEACH God's people to do the "work of the ministry"

• to RELEASE God's people to fulfill their purpose

 

JOIN OUR FELLOWSHIP

• By PROFESSION OF FAITH AND BAPTISM:  One admits he/she is a sinner separated from God, confesses sin to God, and places faith in Jesus for salvation.  As an expression of faith, the new Christian is baptized.  Afterwards, he/she may be accepted into the membership of the church.

• By TRANSFER of current membership from a local church of "like" faith and practice.

• By STATEMENT OF FAITH:  This action is taken by one who is not a member of any church or one who holds membership in any church that is not of the Baptist faith. He / she must have previously accepted Christ and been baptized by "immersion."  After consulting with the Elders, he/she will be presented for membership on the basis of Christian experience.  Membership will be granted upon affirmation of the church.

 

*All adult membership candidates must complete a membership introductory orientation (Connect 101) before "official" membership status is granted.  A Statement of Faith is available upon request.
