True Life Baptist Church is...
Independent. We follow Christ, as our only Head, with His Word, the Bible, as our only authority. If the Bible says it, we proclaim it, believe it, and, by God’s power, attempt to live it. Mission-Minded. We believe that the whole world needs to hear the Gospel message. For this purpose, we help to financially support one independent Baptist missionary in another pa
rt of the world and will add others as the Lord supplies. Life can often be discouraging, and everyone needs someone else with whom to share burdens. TLBC offers a place of love, concern, and encouragement to follow Jesus daily. Traditional. We still sing songs from the hymnbook and believe that Bible preaching is the most important part of each service. There are those who wonder what to expect when they visit True Life Baptist Church for the first time. Here are some things that will help you prepare for your first visit.
1. Friendly people. The people of True Life Baptist Church love to fellowship one with another as well as get to know those who chose to visit our services. We look forward to our services, so that we are able to spend time together in an atmosphere that honours Jesus Christ.
2. Soul-stirring hymns. While many churches are promoting contemporary Christian music, True Life Baptist Church loves to sing from the hymnbook. We not only sing these hymns, but we sing them with our whole heart, accompanied by Pastor Jackson on his bass ukulele and his sons on their guitars. We also enjoy special music as the Lord provides.
3. Passionate, practical preaching of the Word of God. The song service is not the focal point of our services; instead, it is the preaching from the King James Bible. We encourage everyone in attendance to bring a Bible and follow along, so that each individual can see for himself what it is that God has said. Pastor Jackson passionately preaches the truths of God's Word in a unique and practical manner, helping everyone understand what God is saying to each one of us. At the end of every service, we hold an invitation, where we sing a closing hymn and allow people to come to the altar and respond to the message they have just heard from God.
4. Different services. On Sunday, our services are held at 2:30 and 3:45 PM. These services are not identical. We sing different songs, and we hear a different message from God's Word. Our Tuesday night Bible Study, held at 7:00 PM, is exactly that. We spend time learning about one book of the Bible or another, so that we may show ourselves approved before God. We do not merely learn facts about the Bible, but dig into the practical applications of the Bible to our everyday living.
5. Dress code. True Life Baptist Church does not have a dress code for anyone who wishes to attend one of our services. We do believe that we should dress our best for the Lord, according to the teaching of Scripture, but we never pressure anyone to dress a particular way.
