Deep Creek Baptist Church

Please feel free to join us for Worship and be our special guest.  Christ has risen…Christ has risen indeed!

We will be celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ with a 6:30am worship service on the ground deck at Uno’s Restaurant…right across the street!  This will be a glorious occasion and makes for a spectacular picture, so be sure to bring the camera.

At 7:30am we will be providing a Sunrise Breakfast in our fellowship hall

then at 9:30am  we will have Sunday School for all ages (0 months-nursery to 130 years of age).

Our Resurrection Sunday Worship will begin at 10:45am with a spectacular choir greeting and special music along with a children’s message.  This worship will last to approximately 12:15pm.

We look forward to seeing you there!  May the Lord bless you and fill you this Resurrection Sunday!

Keep the Son in your eyes,

Christ Has Risen!!!!!

Please join us as DaVinci’s painting comes to life with a dramatic portrayal of Jesus and His Twelve disciples an hour before His betrayal by Judas.  Come and watch the disciples one-by one share their faith and testimony of the man called Jesus and listen how He has transformed them to an understanding of Christ the Lord; King of Kings!

A recent survey finds that pastors still place a high value on seminary training.  Churches need to seek out and find those pastors who are called and affirmed by the Lord and those who have been proved out through the fires of Seminary.  Would you hire a nuclear physicist who holds no training in nuclear energy?  So when then do churches hire pastors without formal biblical training especially language studies in Hebrew and Greek?

LifeWay Research‘s study involving more than 1,000 Protestant pastors found that two-thirds have obtained at least a Master’s degree, and 71 percent report they regularly use things they learned in seminary. Also, of those pastors who went to seminary, 83 percent strongly agree the training and experience was worth the time and money.

The findings are at odds with a 2009 report from the Association of Theological Schools, which indicates that seminary enrollment was in a slump.

“The fact that pastors were overwhelmingly indicating in our survey that they’re using their seminary education and would do it all over again, we would say that seminary education is relevant today, but it may be a little more difficult financially,” comments Scott McConnell of LifeWay Research of the Southern Baptist Convention.

He adds that many seminaries are expanding their online courses to make it easier for both students and professors.  There is nothing which can replace the Seminary experience.  Pastors learning and growing from each other and building a prayer group as well as comradeship in today’s tumultuous times!

Due to the waether conditions and the snow removal situation, we will not be having worship tomorrow.   I will be sending out an e-mail devotion study to do with the family in place of Sunday Worship.  Be sure to check yo0ur e-mail and this website for a copy of the lesson!

As the weather stands now, we will be having regular worship with Sunday at 9:45 and Worship beginning at 10:55am.  We look forward to seeing you there!
