2013‚ I attended a service with my class at Salem Baptist Church. The Salem Baptist Church is located at 3131 Lake Street. This was a voluntary class visit and I attended it with about ten of my peers‚ along with my teacher. This was the first Baptist church I had ever experienced and‚ therefore‚ it was filled with exciting new experiences. I have never really learned about Baptists‚ but I had heard a few stereotypes and brief descriptions of Baptist Churches; as a result‚ I had some pre-conceived

I am analyzing Baptist church religious services. There are many roles that happen during a religious setting. There will always be a pastor‚ father‚ or any preferred name to whomever conducts the ceremony and depending on the status of the church there will be two or more deacons. Deacons are typically the right hand help for the church or pastor. Another role within the church is the electrician in the church. Someone who is capable of working the technology‚ to handle the lights‚ speakers‚ and

so effective? One of the most effective teams I have been a member of is the Lindsay Street Baptist Church Senior Usher Board. Our board is made up of individuals of the same race. However‚ our ages vary from 23 to 75 years of age. With this broad age gap‚ everyone is learning something differently about each other during our meetings. We share a common goal which is to be the best “doorkeepers” in the church. We find solace and joy in performing our duties. We are committed to each as members

Birmingham Church Bombing “Blast Kills Four Children…”! It was in all the newspapers and everybody was talking about it. The Birmingham Church Bombing may not have been the first bombing over race‚ but it was the first that killed. This horrible event took the lives of four little girls and injured many more. This bombing demonstrated just how bad racial tensions truly had gotten‚ especially in Alabama. Michele Norris is one of the great authors that actually wrote about the Birmingham Church Bombing

Homosexuality in the Baptist Church: Homosexuality is one of the most debated issues among Christians today‚ regardless of the denomination of their church. Some churches view homosexuality as a sin and have no tolerance for it‚ while other denominations are more accepting and consider it a non-sin. Even though some denominations have taken a stand on homosexuality‚ there seems to much discord within the governing bodies of the churches regarding this issue. It has moved from a topic rarely discussed

A View Inside The Westboro Baptist Church Unlike most modern religious groups‚ the Westboro Baptist Church is unique in the fact that the organization doesn’t meet in a modern church setting. Instead‚ the Westboro Baptist Church meets on Sundays to picket and protest the funerals of people whom they feel have created blasphemous acts against God. This recently included the funeral of Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs. In an October 7th cbsnews.com article journalist Edecio Martinez quoted Margie Phelps

The Baptist worship observation was a totally new experience for me. It was the first time I was stepping out of my comfort zone and attending a service that was not my normal Sunday Mass celebration at my parish. At first‚ I was a bit worried because it didn’t know what to expect or how to act. However‚ the experience was gratifying. It was not a worship service that appeals to me; however‚ I consider that it can be a positive experience for someone searching for a more modern worship service.

Norielyn Perez Baptist Church Visit Christ the King Baptist Church‚ that’s the name of the church I recently attended‚ and although it was a lot different from my own catholic faith‚ I enjoyed it very much. There were a lot of people in this service; around 35 to 45 people were present. Everyone that was there was dressed semi-formal‚ casual clothes which were the same thing in the Catholic Church service. The Pastor John McVicker started out the service with an opening prayer which led us into

Baptists‚ Protestant Christians who accept the basic doctrine of the 16th-century Reformation but have added other beliefs and practices‚ including baptism of believers by immersion only‚ the separation of Church and state‚ and the autonomy of the local church. The Baptists are important for their emphasis on these and other beliefs and for their numbers. The history of the Baptist Church is traced to the early days of the Protestant Reformation-specifically‚ the division of the Reformation. John
