Gethsemane  is an “independent, fundamental,  and Baptist” church!

Independent -  We are not affiliated with any convention or association.  We disclaim such affiliations because of liberal theology, compromise, and control which so constantly accompany them.  We are very dependent upon our Lord Jesus Christ and the precious Holy Spirit in doing the His work.  We do cooperate effectively for the common cause of world evangelization through the combined efforts of a fellowship-relationship of the local congregations.  We feel involvement determined by membership in a convention often creates a situation in which the program of that convention becomes more important than the local church that created it, causing the radiance and importance of the local church ministry to be obscured.

Fundamental - We accept and believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) to be God's holy, inspired, written Word to mankind, and as such acknowledge the Scriptures to be our sole authority in all manners of faith and practice.  We accept the King James Version of the Bible as a trustworthy, accurate, and reliable English translation.  We confidently use it in all of our teaching and preaching.

Baptist - We believe and practice the now historical Baptistic stand concerning the scriptures, namely:

1. Salvation by grace through faith, given as a free gift from God; no works of any kind involved.

2. Believer's baptism by immersion in water.

3. That the truly born-again are eternally secure in Christ and can never be lost again.

4. That the Bible is the verbally inspired, infallible Word of God from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.

5. The total separation of church and state.

Church - We are a local fellowship of born-again, baptized believers in the Lord Jesus Christ who meet together to worship God and to carry out the commands of our Lord as given in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
