We Are A Different Kind of Baptist

With so many varieties of Baptists, some of our guests may wonder, "What kind of Baptist are you?" While we are Baptist in our heritage, we are unapologetically Christian.  Which means Baptist is our middle name not our first.  Often times people will say to us, "Don't Baptists believe this?" and we'll say, "We're not that kind of Baptists." 

• We are some other kind of Baptists-- the kind who think that there are many ways of viewing every issue. 
• We are Baptists who are willing to listen to every side, because sometimes God has some surprising things to teach us. 
• We are Baptists who think the Bible should be interpreted according to the teachings of Christ, with respect to the priesthood of every believer.
• We are Baptists who think it is more important to love and serve than to judge and dictate.
• We are Baptists who believe women can serve as deacons and pastors.
• We are Baptists who accept the baptisms of other denominations. Our membership includes Catholics, Presyterians, Methodists, and Lutherans.

We invite you to establish a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ by accepting His grace and forgiveness. We also welcome you to become a member of Pelham Road upon your receiving the forgiveness of sin, or upon your testimony of a previous faith experience in another church.

Our desire is to assist you in finding a meaningful relationship with God. We welcome all whom God sends our way and invite you to come and join our family by coming forward at the invitation at the close of our worship experience.
