We believe that the church started in the New Testament, and that we have attempted to follow the example of the New Testament in our churches.

We do not believe in the need for any chains of succession of Baptist churches or any other church, whether that chain is based on baptisms, ordinations, etc. Our connection with the New Testament is enough.

To be fair to other viewpoints, if you on our list of pastors and churches and have a different opinion regarding chains of succession among Baptists, you are encouraged to write your viewpoint in a short article about the size of the above one of the Webmaster's views. We will publish one such writen viewpoint on this page. If it is too big for this page, we will publish is as a pdf article with links to it from our Articles page. You also have the option of putting it on your own site, which we will link to by way of our list of pastors and churches page.
