Statement of purpose 

186 Holly Springs Rd Etowah NC 28729

Maple Hill Baptist Church is a congregation that is organized and operated according to the principles set forth in the New Testament for the purpose of speading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and discipling those who recive Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour

 

We Are Baptist. From roots in the New Testament Church of the first century, through the Dark Ages in Europe, until today, Baptists have held distinct beliefs and values, which in many cases, have cost them their lives. We are not Charismatic, Ecumenical, Arminian, or Calvanist. We are Baptist.

 

We are Independent Baptists, not associated with the Southern Baptist Convention or any other denomination. Our autonomy has allowed us to begin and operated many ministries that would not have otherwise been possible. Our independence has been key in working with other groups to accomplish common goals.

 

We are Fundamental Baptists, We adhere to the fundamentles of the faith and reject modern teachings and practices that are contrary to the Bible 

 

We are Conservative Baptist. We believe in the literal  interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, and therefore, practice conservative music, dress, life style, politics, and financial principels.

 

We are Missionary Baptists. We take the great commission " to go unto all the world and Preach the Gospel" seriously. Whether around the corner or around the world, much of our prayers, efforts, and finances are dedicated o the purpose of the evangelization of the sinners and the discipling of saints. 

 

We are King James Bible Baptists. We believe that the Masoretic Hebrews, and the Textus receptus Greek text are preserved in the King James 1611 Bible. We believe that the cannon of scripture is complete in the 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament. We reject the Westcott and Hort Manuscripts and all modern translations derived therof.

 

We are Old Fashioned Baptists. We believe in old-time preaching, praying and praising the Lord. While many churches in our day are striving to be "contemporary" in their music, worship, and practices; we are striving to preserve the old fashioned ways, values, and tradition that made our mountains the "Heart of the Bible Belt" and our nation strong.
