Whether you are looking for a church home or are simply passing through, I want to thank you for your interest and in taking time to learn more about Raikes Hill Baptist Church.
Our church was founded with the Great Commission in mind, with a heart to reach the communities that surround us with the gospel of Jesus Christ. As such, you will find that much of what we do here at Raikes Hill is very much centered around the “good news” – recognizing and detailing the implications of Christ’s redeeming work on the cross in the life of the believer. This message is central to all that we do, with the conviction that our faith and obedience flow into every aspect of our lives. While some may designate things as “sacred” or “secular,” we believe that all of life should be consecrated and set apart, ultimately, for God’s glory.
This is a faith that truly transforms, and it is only the power of God through His Word that is capable of achieving it! Our prayer is that your walk with Christ fashions and shapes you into His likeness, showing the same compassion, grace, and devotion to Almighty God. We recognize that we are all sinners saved by grace, and we seek to continually encourage one another in the truths of Scripture, to experience the peace that only God can bring, and to be content regardless of the circumstances that surround us.
Finally, we believe the Christian faith inevitably shapes how we interact with others. This may mean encouraging other believers in our times of worship. It may also entail the boldness to proclaim the gospel to lost family, friends, and co-workers. We recognize that our responsibility does not end there, with the Great Commission outlining the expectation to “make disciples of all nations.”
Wherever you find yourself in your faith journey, I hope and pray that Raikes Hill will be of encouragement to you as you grow in Christ and seek to live faithfully and obediently according to God’s revealed Word.
In Christ,
Drew Underwood – Pastor
