Visitor Info – Meadows Baptist Church

A Word From Our Pastor

As pastor, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend Meadows Baptist Church of Walnut Cove, North Carolina. We are an old fashioned, independent Baptist church with a warm friendly atmosphere. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God written down by holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We at Meadows believe that Jesus is the only means of salvation and that salvation is offered to every man. Our church has a wonderful youth program with something for every age group. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 336-403-3757. We look forward to seeing you soon.

What We Believe

The members of Meadows Baptist Church believe:

The divine inspiration of the scriptures; the Deity and humanity of Christ; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutional death; His bodily resurrection; His ascension and pre-millennial return for the church.

That all men are sinners and their only hope is the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

That a literal burning Hell is the abiding place of unbelievers.

That the two ordinances to be observed by a New Testament church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper administered by the local church; baptism being immersion in water of a believer to show forth our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, Jesus Christ. Baptism is to occur prior to or in conjunction with church membership.

The Lord’s Supper is to be observed by the sacred use of bread and grape juice, commemorating the supreme sacrifice made by our Lord on Calvary. Wine will not be used based on Proverbs 20:1.

The doctrine of the trinity; the pre-tribulation rapture of the church; and the bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ at His coming.
