Providence Baptist Church exists to glorify God by experiencing, proclaiming, and displaying the supremacy of Jesus Christ in all things to all peoples.
Gather With Us
Welcome! We’re glad you’ve taken a moment to explore our website, and we look forward to meeting you in person at our public gathering.
Who We Are
Providence Baptist Church is a gospel-centered community in Dahlonega, Georgia, committed to the faithful preaching of Scripture and the glory of Jesus Christ. We hold to biblical doctrine, emphasizing the supremacy of Christ in all things, covenant membership, and plurality of elders. Our purpose is to proclaim the gospel, disciple believers, and live out God’s mission in the world. We meet every Sunday at 10:45 AM at 7788 South Chestatee, Dahlonega, GA 30533.
Distinctives
Missional
We focus our times together on building up believers and encouraging one another to take the Good News of salvation into the community, region, and world.
Intergenerational
We place high value on the health of families, and believe that husbands are to be the spiritual leaders of their households; our corporate meetings are multi-generational to allow and encourage families to function and grow together according to this model.
Covenant Membership
Covenant membership involves all members’ commitment to be subject to one another for the sake of the integrity and spiritual growth of the Church. It is both a solemn and joyful matter—a deep agreement between regenerated believers that welcomes discipline for the sake of the greater good of sanctification.
Expositional Preaching
Since “all Scripture is inspired by God, useful for teaching...”, we, in our corporate presentation of Bible texts, will deal exegetically with each passage, taking as our main point for the sermon the main point of the text and attending to each issue presented in the main Bible text.
Southern Baptist
While God, with absolute sovereignty, accomplishes the salvation of his people, he uses his people to spread the gospel of eternal salvation; we, therefore, partner with the Southern Baptist Convention in supporting mission efforts worldwide. We also affirm Baptist polity.
Leadership Plurality
Elders/pastors and deacons are the scripturally mandated positions of leadership in the Church. Qualified leaders act as arbiters of the democratically selected goals and values of the body; thus, the church is led by the Spirit, guided by multiple elders/pastors, and assisted by deacons.
Gospel-Centered Counseling
We acknowledge the Bible as the chief authority on healthy, fulfilled living. As such, pastoral counseling is first and foremost the application of Biblical truth to guide us through our struggles.
