April is here!
Signs of spring and newness are all around us. Flowers are blooming, buds on the trees are blossoming and the hint of a warm breeze is blowing! Newness of life is evident, so let us approach it with a mindset of newness, seeking growth, fresh starts and those things that will soothe the soul! Step back, enjoy life and allow yourself to live. Release those things that would hinder you from moving forward. Take time for yourself. There is an old saying that, “April showers bring May flowers!” Well, let the showers come because in the end May flowers will bloom and blossom. What flowers need to bloom and blossom in your life? Are you ready to release yourself of strongholds and struggles, fears and doubts, hang ups and hindrances? Then, there’s no better time or place to start then now. Spring forward this April! Why, because new opportunities, new inspirations, new lessons, new careers, new blessings and beginnings await you! Think about it! Most importantly of all, this is the season that we can look back and reminisce on how we received our Newness of Life! The season Our Savior sacrificed His life on the Cross for our sins, offered us salvation and a newness of life in Him! Let us approach April believing and trusting God for all that He has in store for us! Seek God’s face and His favor while celebrating the Resurrection and Victory of Jesus each day of April, especially on Easter Sunday! Much love, blessings and peace for a Happy Resurrection Day! Pastor, First Gentleman Deacon Waterman & First Family "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." John 3:16-17 The Year of Embracing the Change
Moving Forward: One Body, One Spirit, One Faith! |

Our Doctrinal Statement
We the, Polite Temple Baptist Church, believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God in doctrine and life & that Jesus Christ was 100% man and was 100% God manifested in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.
Salvation
We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and all are in need of God's salvation through Jesus Christ.
|
The Holy Trinity
We believe in the Triune God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
|
Eternal Life
We believe Jesus Christ bore our sins in His own body on Calvary's Cross. The sacrificial offering of His life & His precious blood. God the Father accepts as full payment for the penalty of our sins. Through faith in Him, God grants the believer the forgiveness of sins & eternal life.
