About Baptist Churches
Baptist churches are among the most common Protestant congregations in the American South and Midwest. Core Baptist beliefs include the authority of the Bible, salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, believer's baptism by full immersion, and the autonomy of the local church. Worship styles range from traditional hymns with a choir to contemporary music with a full band, depending on the congregation. Sunday School classes, mid-week Bible studies, and active community outreach are hallmarks of Baptist church life. The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Baptist body in the U.S., though many Baptist congregations are independent or affiliated with other conventions.

★★★★★It was very spiritual. Just what was needed for the week. The musicians were great. Pastor Page was out for a few days. Minister Hubbard did what she's trained to do. Like a well oiled machine.

★★★★★Very visitor friendly. Attended a funeral there and although I didn't know anyone other than the family of deceased, the NBC members made me feel at home.
