My journey with Greater Barbour’s Chapel is full of knowledge and opportunities to serve…

August 28, 2016, I entered the doors of Greater Barbour’s Chapel Baptist Church…
I heard a Deacon Singing His Eye Is on The Sparrow which led me to the altar and becoming a member. Attending services at GBC under the leadership of Pastor K. L. Cotton has provided me with spiritual nourishment and strengthens me spiritually and helps me to grow in my faith. – Jackie Scott
What I have learned so far at Greater Barbour’s Chapel is no matter how bad I am
or how many sins I committed God still loves me. He is a God of mercy and forgiveness.  I don’t know how to do a testimonial because I never had to do one, but this is coming from my heart.  I want to get right with God.” – William Fulsher

What We Believe

The Barbour’s Chapel Church Family church family is in love with Jesus. We want to know Him more fully through Bible study (John 5:39), through praise (Psalm 22:3), and through spending time in prayer (Ephesians 6:18). We desire to act as His body (1 Corinthians 12:27), in sharing His love through practical acts of service (Acts 10:37,38) and through pointing people to Scripture (the Bible) where they can taste and see that God is good (Psalm 34:8).

 

We believe that faith is acting on the Word of God. (James 2:14-17).

 

We believe that there is only one true and living God in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is a direct person, but all of one essence and having the same nature and perfections and attributes.  Each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience. (Genesis 1:1-3,26; Matthew 3:16,17; John 10:30,14:26,15:26; Matthew 28:19)

 

We believe in the rapture, that the dead in Christ will rise first and that those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.  (II Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We believe that the Bible is the written inspired Word of God and is inerrant in the original writing.  The Bible being the revealed Word of God is the ground and foundation from which all claims of the truth shall be substantiated. (II Timothy 3:16)

 

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:26; Acts 1:8)

 

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.  He shed His blood on Calvary in our place, was buried and rose again and ascended to the Father according to the scriptures. (Luke 1:26-33: Acts 2;24-25)
