Free Will Baptist Resources
Explore the beliefs, history, teaching tools, and ministry partnerships that help shape our life together.
FAITHFUL COOPERATION
Rooted in Scripture. Connected in Mission.
Pine Hills Free Will Baptist Church is first and foremost a local church of Jesus Christ. The Holy Scriptures are our final authority for faith and practice, and the Gospel stands at the center of our worship, preaching, discipleship, and mission.
We also value our place within the Free Will Baptist family—a voluntary fellowship of evangelical churches that cooperate in missions, education, church planting, compassion ministries, and the work of making disciples.
01
Why We Are Free Will Baptists
The name “Free Will Baptist” reflects our conviction that God freely offers salvation through Jesus Christ to all people and genuinely calls every person to repent and believe the Gospel.
We affirm salvation by grace alone through faith, the responsibility of believers to persevere in faith, the authority of Scripture, believer’s baptism, the life of the local church, and the Great Commission.
02
Our Place in the Larger Church
We joyfully stand within historic, orthodox, Trinitarian Christianity and gladly recognize all who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and trust in His saving work.
Our denominational identity does not mean that we believe Free Will Baptists are the only faithful Christians. It gives our congregation a shared theological heritage and a practical way to cooperate with other churches while preserving the responsibility and autonomy of the local congregation.

Growing Together in the Faith
Doctrine is not merely information to be collected. Biblical truth shapes our worship, strengthens families, guides our decisions, deepens our prayer, and equips us to serve others in the name of Christ.
We encourage every member and guest to read Scripture, participate in the worshiping life of the church, join a small group, listen carefully to biblical preaching, ask honest questions, and grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
