Who Are We

Greater Jehovah Baptist Church of Grantville, Georgia has come to be recognized as “a place for the total family.”  God’s Word is presented to all ages in an interesting, informative style that is applicable to today’s world.  Practical expository preaching, uplifting worship, and countless special events provide wonderful opportunities for the entire family to grow spiritually.

In one God, eternally existing in three persons:  The Father. The Son, and the Holy Spirit.

That Jesus Christ, the Son, is true God and the agent of creation of this universe.  He gave up His position with the Father and took on the likeness of man through the conception of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin.  He died in our place for our sins, descended into hell, physically rose again, and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of God, the Father, making Him the only mediator between God and humankind.

That the Holy Bible is inspired by God and is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.  Written under God’s inspiration, it is universal and without doctrinal error.

That the New Testament church is a group of believers committed to Jesus Christ that comes together to worship and fellowship.

That baptism is a reenactment of Romans 6:4; being buried with Christ in baptism, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.  Baptism is an external witness of the believer’s previous experience; death to sin, burial of the old life, and resurrection to newness of life.

That the Lord’s Supper is a remembrance of the Lord’s death and a promise of his return.

That worship is one of the greatest joys for a true believer.  However, worship is not primarily about us, but is about bringing praise and glory to God.  Worship is an end in itself, not an attempt to lead to something greater.  It contains the elements of prayer, singing, reading Scripture, giving baptism, the Lord’s Supper and preaching.
