Welcome to our
little corner of cyberspace! I don't know how you found us but I'm
glad you did.
If you're one of the more than three million souls who live within thirty miles
of us, we'd love
to have you come and visit! Check our Service Times page and then join
us at one of these
convenient services. Even if you don't live close enough to worship with
us regularly, look
around
the site. You could literally find something of eternal value.
You will find people at Southport
Baptist Church who will greet you with love
and respect. Our
purpose is to help ordinary people find a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ, and see them
develop into mature Christians using the gifts that God has given each of them.
Perhaps you're
wondering why a church eight miles from Lake Michigan is named "Southport."
The city of Kenosha is the southernmost port in Wisconsin on Lake Michigan and
its previous
name was Southport.
There are malls,
banks, parks, and many other locations throughout
the area with the designation
"Southport."
Where in the world
are you?
More important:
where are you going to spend eternity?
Below is a synopsis of our pages in alphabetic order:
"gift"
- If you haven't yet received God's gift of eternal life, find out how here.
"happenings
"
- As a local body of believers, most of us enjoy each other's company.
Therefore,
we have many "happenings." Some of these are traditional and occur annually.
Others may happen only
once. In either case, our goal is our common encouragement
to be all each of us can be for Jesus, the One
who died for us. This page will have
photos and comments from past happenings and a list with dates
for future
ones. Enjoy!
"Map -
The Google interactive map on this page should help find directions from your
starting
point to us from anywhere in the United States.
"Messages
& Bulletins" - We are happy to
provide you with the opportunity to hear messages that have been delivered from our
pulpit during
our morning worship services. For your maximum benefit, have a good Bible,
paper and pencil with you. If the date has an "*," you can click on it for
that week's
bulletin in pdf format
which contains an outline of that week's sermon.
"missions
" - We believe that missions aren't just an
arm of the local church; they are the very reason for the local church! This page will let
you see how we obey the Lord's
command to send the light of the gospel to the
ends of the earth.
"Our Pastors"
- Meet
our pastors and find out a little about them and their families.
"Present
the Gospel" - If you, as a believer, find it difficult to present the Gospel
to the lost around
you, click here.
"Service Times" - Here is a list of your opportunities to worship God and fellowship with
His
people. We've included the topics for the adults in our four
weekly services.
"What is a Baptist?"
- A lot of churches have abandoned their denominational names for fear of
"turning off" people. If brands really turned people off, why do the canned
goods in
every grocery store have labels? We are happy to be known as Baptists.
The name
was first applied to the person God sent to prepare the world for His Son.
He was called
John the Baptist.
We don't claim him as our progenitor but we believe
everything he taught. This
page will
describe eight distinctive beliefs the holding of
all of which makes one a Baptist. Notice
that these distinctive beliefs form an
acrostic that spells "BAPTISTS."
"What We Believe"- Because we are an independent, Baptist church, we are not required
by any
organization to hold to a prescribed set of beliefs. Therefore, it is
important
for anyone who is interested to know our basic beliefs. This page will
describe those
for you.
