Our Ministry Philosophy

The Plum Grove Baptist Church is a Family of Biblically empowered Christians, committed to Worship, Discipleship, Spiritual Growth and Maturity, and Communal Empowerment. We firmly believe that every church member is a contributing member in time, talent, and tithes. We are committed to the task of bringing every person in our community into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and helping all members of our church and community realize God's potential, purpose and plan for their life. We believe in restoring, repairing, and reviving broken and damaged lives by applying love, understanding, The Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. We believe the Bible is relevant to every life and situation in life. We believe it is the authoritative standard for every individual, age, family and church.
We believe in the Holy Trinity. That the Godhead exist eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are one.
We believe that God is the creator by His command of the whole universe and all in it belongs to HIM.
We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man. We believe, as the scriptures attest, that he was born of a virgin, he was crucified, and died as the perfect sacrifice for the redemption of man, and that he was buried and raised from the dead on the third day.
We believe that all who confess Jesus Christ and believe that God raised Him from the dead shall be saved.
We believe that since Jesus Christ is the perfect atonement for sin and by His shed blood alone are we saved, and since salvation is the grace gift of God, unearned, that a TRUE believer cannot lose his salvation, but sin will and can hinder the loving and needful fellowship with God and result in the discipline of God.
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, bodily and visibly to this earth.
We believe that at His coming the bodies of the believers will be raised and that all who are alive at His appearing will be join Him and dwell in His presence.
We believe that Worship and effective ministry is the direct results of Christian empowered and governed by the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the gifts of the Spirit of God. We believe that every believer has a spiritual gift that when developed, and applied Biblically, edifies the body of Christ.
We believe that the local church was ordained by the Lord for worship, exhortation, and as the primary place for spiritual growth and Kingdom service.
We believe that the believers engaged in the local church experience should be actively involved in holistic ministry to the community, which involves: empowering the disinherited, fighting for social justice and economic empowerment, building and restoring healthy relationships, advocating solid secular education, elderly and senior care, and eliminating generational, institutional and individual evils.
