"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."

I Timothy 3:15

We come to this thought at the end of a list of qualifications for bishops (also known as pastors) and deacons. How we conduct the business of a church is important. The quality of church leaders is important. Then God adds that the church the pillar and ground of the truth. The word pillar reminds us that that church supports the truth. The word ground reminds is that the church provides a foundation or a base for truth.
For a generation now, our culture has run away from objective truth–the idea that truth exists and crosses frontiers, crosses cultures, and crosses centuries. But recent events have brought us back from the brink of anarchy which is where a rejection of truth leads us. Where should people always find the truth? In the church which is the pillar and the ground for truth. Remember that we are the support and the base on which truth rests. Let's give people what they want—access to the truth.

A Message from Pastor Scott

Welcome to Elmira Baptist Church! Founded through a revival in the 1950's, for over 75 years Elmira Baptist Church has been a beacon of hope to the communities of Elmira, Vacaville, Dixon, and Fairfield. What can you expect when you visit us?
Worship is central to all that we do. We do not "do church." We gather to worship a God Who is worthy. Worship is not about what we enjoy. Worship is about enjoying God. Congregational singing in which all participate in worship defines our meetings on Sunday.
Also, no church can thrive without prayer. Daily, personal prayer in our time with God as well as corporate prayer particularly on Wednesday evening. And not just giving God a shopping list of things we want; rather we pray in order to cooperate with what God is doing in our world. Our supplications are for God's grace in people's lives.
Once we have prayed, our goal is to evangelize our community where we live and the people whom we know. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus is the Savior of the world. That is not merely good news for Christians. It is good news for everyone.
And after a person is adopted as God's child, we do not wish to leave him there, immature and alone. Our plan is to make disciples. Our time together in community, fellowship, and serious study increases our desire to be disciples.
Our 2025 theme is rejoicing in the Lord. We will never find joy and happiness seeking our own priorities and pleasure. Only when we seek the Lord and prioritize worship, prayer, evangelism, and making disciples do we find that joy that God has intended for us.
