Home of the Slatington Baptist Church

We would like to let you know about our church and extend a warm, friendly welcome to all.

Our church expands on the savior, love and feelings. We try to be sensitive to each other's needs and are concerned about everyone’s spiritual welfare. Intertwining care, concern and love with Christ in our lives gives us a continuing Christian uplift.

·We accept the Bible as God’s Word and as our standard of teaching.
·We believe that faith in Jesus Christ is God’s plan for forgiveness of sins and eternal and abundant life.
·We share a loving, caring and learning experience with our friend, Jesus.
·We are empowered by the Holy Spirit

Our Baptist church practices baptism by immersion, an expression of one’s own decision to receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior. It symbolizes the burial of our old life in sin and the beginning of a new life with Christ.
We make no claims to be superior to anyone. As caring Christians we are here to help one another and invite everyone into our fellowship with Christ.

          Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God and this assembly most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
          We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel through all nations.
          We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world, to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, exemplary in our deportment, and zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.
          We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember each other in prayer; to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense but always ready for reconciliation; and, mindful of the rules of our savior, to secure it without delay.
          We moreover engage that, when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
