About us
As a church, we are about reproducing the full life of Jesus by discipling one another in missional congregations where everyone knows your name.
Our longing is that people encounter the Lord Himself and that after ministry their sense would be that “God did that!” This leaves us dependent upon God because ultimately it is about whether He does this or not.
We are passionate about the “finished product”. That “product” is not a big congregation or a new building or great services or a profile in the community. The “product” is ultimately personal and concerns who and what we are becoming. We believe that we are on this earth to discover, live out and pass on what it means to be whole-hearted followers of Jesus.
If you were to decide to make Pinelands Baptist Church your spiritual home, you would essentially be joining us on the same journey of learning to walk as Jesus did.
