Our Mission

We exist to ... Love Jesus and Live for Him

Love Jesus

Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

Live for Him

Jesus came and told His disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 NLT

Our Vision

We envision the people we know and meet coming to faith in Jesus Christ, being baptized, joining our fellowship, growing stronger through discipleship, and living with joy because they love Him.

We envision a strong and courageous congregation who is known for the blessings we give, the hopes we share, the hurts we heal, and the new life we offer in Christ.

We envision a congregation who's love for Jesus and one another leaves a clear and compelling witness for Christ. A people who live everyday to hear Jesus say, "Well Done!"

History:

Pinehurst Baptist Church had its beginning in 1952 as First Baptist Church of Pinehurst, located in the Pinehurst community which was not yet a part of Everett. Later, in 1956, the congregation was approached by a sister church, Wetmore Avenue Baptist Church of Everett, with the proposition that the two unite and provide a stronger witness to the area. At that time there were very few Southern Baptist churches in the state, much less in the Everett/Seattle area.

So, on September 30th of that year, the two congregations under the guidance of the Executive Secretary/Treasurer of the Washington-Oregon Baptist Convention, Dr. E.E. Milam, formed Pinehurst Baptist Church. There were 31 members in the beginning, but some that joined the new church later were considered as charter members. Only one charter member, Civert (Tommy) O'Donnell, remains as an active member. By mutual consent, the congregation sought out and purchased property at 1902 Madison, the present location. An old wooden frame, building would serve as a meeting place until 1968.

Complying with state laws, the church was designated as a corporation and, under Dr. Milam's direction, drafted a constitution and by-laws which served the church until being revised in 1986.

As a church cooperating with like-minded sister churches of the Southern Baptist Convention, Pinehurst Baptist Church became a member of Mt. Baker Association, made up of churches north from Everett as far as the Canadian Border. Later in 1961, Pinehurst became a member of the much larger Evergreen association (now Puget Sound Baptist Association) made up of churches in and around the greater Seattle area
