Church History :

Corinth Baptist Church has a long and rich history dating back to its inception in 1822. The church began with eighteen members and was chartered as the Independent Baptist Society of East Corinth. In 1913 the Independent Baptist Society and the Free Baptist Society, also of Corinth, united to form a new church called the United Baptist Society. In 1962, due to concern over liberalism, the church withdrew its association from the United Baptist Association / American Baptist Convention becoming an independent Baptist church. In 2005 the church voted unanimously to change its name from United Baptist Church to Corinth Baptist Church so as to remove any confusion that might exist concerning the church’s independent status.

Corinth Baptist Church in its 180 plus year history has had 41 pastors, 4 of which were interim. CBC has been blessed to see several of its membership go on to serve the Lord in a full time capacity as pastors, missionaries, or other full time Christian workers. CBC has always taken its responsibility to the Great Commission seriously and has sought to faithfully proclaim the Gospel in our community, as well as support missionaries around the world. Currently the church is supporting 19 missionaries at $100.00 per month.

As current members of Corinth Baptist Church we are thankful for the great heritage left to us by the members of years gone by. Our aim is to remain as faithful to the Lord in our current generation as our predecessors were in the past. We believe in and look for the imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but while He tarries, we will strive to carry on so that “ … when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” (1 John 2: 28b)

Statement of Faith :

We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments as verbally inspired by God and inerrant, and preserved for us to this day and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and are totally depraved, and that they must be born again to be accepted of God.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary Sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood, and are saved by grace through faith wholly apart from human merit and works.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God; that they are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit and so are secured unto the day of redemption.

We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ was begun at Pentecost; is composed solely of believers; is the Body and Bride of our Lord; is distinct from Israel; and that its business is to complete itself through the winning of lost souls to Christ.

We believe that for the person who receives the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, water baptism by immersion is an ordained testimony portraying the believer's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. We believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's Supper to commemorate His death till He comes. Moreover, we believe that neither water baptism nor the Lord's Supper has any saving merit.

We believe that the Scriptures clearly teach every believer to live a life of separation unto the Lord from all worldly and sinful practices; to abide in Christ; to walk in the Spirit; and to enjoy victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil.

We believe in "that blessed Hope," the personal and imminent coming of our Lord into the air for His saints. We believe in the personal visible and glorious return of Christ to the earth with His saints. We believe that between these events shall occur the seven years of tribulation, Daniel's seventieth week.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.

We believe that Satan is a personal being, a fallen angel, the prince of demons, the great enticer and deceiver, the god of this age, and the adversary of Christ and His Church, and that his destiny is eternal punishment.
