Countryside Baptist Church

I’ve physically been to this church 3-4 times before C-19 struck. I continue to follow and support online and through social media presently, BECAUSE...and in order of importance to me; the gospel is preached here, the Word of God (scripture) is referred to in every sermon, from the King James Version, and they have an outreach and a desire for souls to be saved and truth to be spoken and heard. Lastly, they sing praise from hymnals; I’m not a big fan of a stage concert preceding a message. I pray that many are so blessed to be a part of a church home such as this one.🙏🏻Lord God, bless and protect this congregation in a mighty way as they strive to be your voice and testimony in a struggling world, in Jesus name.

This place has a very great message at every service! It may be small, but the love and compassion everyone shows to each other along with the filling message definitely makes up for its small size. And it is a nice place to go if you are visiting for a day, it will bring knowledge of the Lord to your heart for a long time.

Visited while in the area - felt right at home! Great Bible preaching, and very warm and welcoming people. The pastor and his wife and very kind and joyful people, and they are on fire for the Lord!

Mission Statement says it all. "Loving God. Growing together. Reaching the world."
Preaches through the King James Version.

Great loving church, with a Great Pastor & wife! Old Fashioned and true Bible Believers.

The sermon was good

A few years ago, my wife, her family and I attended a holiday service at this church. We also brought a 17 year old along who my wife, as his nanny, had essentially raised from birth. He actually came along as a courtesy to her as she wanted us to be together as a family to observe the holiday.

Towards the end of the sermon, the young man excused himself to go to the rest room which was located in a more isolated part of the building. While standing at the urinal, an adult stranger entered the rest room and informed the young man he had been watching him from the rear of the church. He began to reprimand him for not taking the sermon more seriously, handed him a religious tract, and left. Naturally, the youngster was rattled after having been singled out and stalked to a remote part of the building by this stranger.

Later we discovered that this person was mentally ill and prone to unexpected violent psychotic episodes; apparently the former pastor witnessed some of this behavior at his services during his tenure.

First of all, a grown man does NOT follow a 17 year old boy into a bathroom to accost him, especially when there is no one around, no matter what the intentions. Secondly, why wasn't this individual under supervision and allowed to freely roam the building while a service was in progress?

The current pastor and his upper minions were made aware of the incident, but since nothing happened, everything was swept under the carpet to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the church. However, the reality is things could have gone very wrong very quickly if something would have triggered this guy. Plus, the bathroom was isolated enough so that no one in the nave would have been aware of something going on in that part of the building until it was too late.

The young man never received an explanation or an apology for the incident. This church is a major disappointment with its religious pretense; they profess to preach the Bible, but evidently the real priority is protecting a squeaky-clean image and its own self-preservation. Thankfully, this church got lucky and there were no tragic consequences that day.
