What We Believe Navigation Bar

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour while attending the
Wilds of the Rockies Youth Camp. That was the last Friday
in August, 1988. The Holy Spirit had been convicting me
all of that week and on that Friday I finally
heeded His call to be saved. I waited 2 years before being
baptized and
at the age of 15 I surrendered to preach.
God has allowed me to serve in many capacities in
many churches. I have met and known so many of God’s
wonderful people and have always been blessed to live
my life in the house of the Lord! Never have I known
God to fail anyone, including me!
My beautiful wife Holli and I met in church and have been living in
wedded bliss since 2001! No kiddos yet but we do have
one
loser of a kitty! :p
Since graduating high school and setting out on my own I have worn many
hats in the Lord’s work (what joy!): I have served as Song Leader,
Bus Captain, Junior Church Director,
Teen Director, Sunday school
teacher, Choir Director, Janitor, pulpit supply and much more!
I am proud to
have served our country in the USAF and am
a graduate of
Heartland Baptist Bible College.
My wife and I are
proud to have been helpers and charter members of
Majesty Baptist Church of Vancouver,
WA.
Currently, we are back home and enjoying being a part of
Southwest
Baptist Church!

I
accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour
in October 1987
at First Baptist Church
of
Peaceful Valley in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. While
kneeling
at the altar to pray,
my mom knelt by my side
and
asked me what I was
praying
about. When I wasn't
sure
of the answer,
she took her Bible and led me to
Christ.
I was
baptized the following Sunday.
At
the age of 15, shortly after my grandmother had passed
away,
I
began to feel the Lord speaking to my heart about
more
I could be doing. One night while lying in bed, I
prayed
and
asked God to
use me according to His will. I
began
to feel more
excited
about
doing God's work. In
January
1999,
I had the privilege of taking the 2-3-year-old
Sunday
school
class. What a joy! It was a great time, and I do praise the
Lord
for the opportunity
to have an impact on such young lives.
In
April 2001, the Lord introduced me to the love of my life--Mike Caldwell.
He
would
become my husband just one
year later. After our marriage, I moved to
Alamogordo,
New Mexico, where he already lived and "dove into" the life of being
a
wife. I couldn't have been happier! I
considered it a joy and privilege to be
the
"help meet" to my husband in the areas of Christian service God had
placed
us
in. That
chapter came to an end in November 2003 when God called us back to
Colorado
Springs to serve Him at First Baptist Church of Peaceful Valley
under the leadership of Pastor Gene Woods.
We believe He called us there
in
order to show us the way to Bible college.
From
2003 - 2009, we lived where we now consider "home" and attended
the
Southwest Baptist Church in Oklahoma
City, OK, under the leader-
ship
of Bro.
Sam Davison.
We were blessed to be involved in a number of
ministries
there while Mike attended Heartland
Baptist Bible
College.
After
Mike's
graduation from Graduate School in 2008, we simply enjoyed post-
college
life while we awaited the Lord's direction. In March 2009, during
the
Annual Missions Conference, we met Virl
& Sandy Stalnaker, church
planters
to the Northwest, who were going to Vancouver, WA, to start
a
church. Over the following months, the Lord made it clear that He
would
have us move to Washington to help the Stalnakers start the
church.
We moved to Vancouver in September 2009.
Majesty Baptist Church
began in March 2010 and
we
are excited about what God is doing in and through that church.

As
independent, fundamental, premillenial Baptists we believe:
We
believe in the inspired word of God as the final rule of faith and practice.
We further hold to the KJV as correctly translated from the correct manuscripts.
We believe in one God, manifested in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
He is the creator of all things and sovereign over the same. He is eternal.
We believe in the virgin birth, the deity, and the sinlessness of Jesus Christ.
His blood provided for our atonement. His resurrection proved he was God
and
able to grant to us eternal life.
We believe the work of the Holy Spirit to be that of lifting up the name
and
work
of Jesus Christ; that he never exalts himself; that he accomplishes
his
work by convicting of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates,
sanctifies,
indwells, empowers, guides, teaches, and comforts the saved.
We believe in the person of Satan: his fallen state, his destructive ways,
and
his eventual destruction.
We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We
further
believe that all who believe in His death, burial, and resurrection
may
freely come to Him for salvation; that, just for the asking, the sinner
will
receive forgiveness of sin, salvation, and everlasting life; and that
salvation
is eternally secure and cannot be lost.
We believe that sin is any transgression against the divine will of God
in
all matters written and unwritten; that sin brought man death and
eternal
separation from God; that it condemns to a literal, eternal, fiery Hell.
We believe that Jesus Christ is bodily coming back for His saints, both
those
who
are dead and those who are alive at that time. We believe the rapture
will
happen before the Tribulation Period and that the saints will
rule
with Him a thousand years after the Tribulation Period.
We believe that the local church is the body of Christ and was established
by
Jesus
Christ during His earthly ministry and not on the day of Pentecost.
We
further believe in the authority, independence, and autonomy of each
church.
The local church has only two ordinances: baptism by immersion
and
the Lord's Supper by closed communion. It's commission is to win,
immerse,
add, and teach every convert. We believe in separation from
denominationalism,
liberalism, ecumenicalism, new evangelicalism,
and
all neo movements such as the Charismatic movement.
