| Our church was established by the leadership of the Lord,  June of 1994.  It is our desire to do our part in obeying the great  commission of our Lord (Matthew 28:19). Our priority is preaching the Word of God.  Nothing is  more important to God than His Word.  God’s Son has a name that is above  every name (Philippians 2:9) and He magnifies His Word above His name (Psalm  138:2).
 It is the Word of God that converts a soul (Psalm  19:7).  “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”  (John 3:16).
 It is by the Word of God that the souls of men are born  again (I Peter 1:23).  Our church enjoys good fellowship together and we  have some of the greatest, Christ exalting, singing you will hear  anywhere.  Such praise and worship in song prepares the heart to hear and  receive the Word of God.
 Many churches emphasize plays, parties, movie projectors,  psychology, and programs.  However, God chose the foolishness of preaching  to save them that believe.  “For after that in the wisdom of God, the  world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to  save them that believe”. (I Corinthians 1:21)
 The religious but lost world has ever tried to replace the  preaching of the Word with religious entertainment.  To them preaching is  foolishness.  “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish  foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (I Corinthians  1:18).  God has not called us to entertain but to evangelize the  world.  “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power  of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to  the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
 The country is full of clubhouse religion that promotes  every version of the Bible and contemporary music that promotes feeling rather  than faith.  However, if you are looking for a church that exalts the Lord  Jesus Christ through Bible singing and preaching we invite you to visit our  services at Appleby   Baptist Church.
