Elohim Bible Baptist Church (EBBC) exemplifies a vibrant, independent local Baptist congregation that blends the best of Fundamental Baptist rigor in doctrinal purity and separation, First Baptist zeal for soul-winning and community engagement, and Bible Baptist commitment to verse-by-verse preaching of the infallible Word of God. Guided by its Constitution, which establishes orderly governance rooted in Scripture, EBBC operates under a mixed servant leadership model. This integrates Congregational (member participation in major decisions), Pastoral (shepherding and preaching authority), Administrative (efficient operations), Presbyterian (plurality of elders for oversight), and Servant Leadership (Christ-like humility and sacrifice).

Baptist Distinctives as the Foundation

EBBC anchors all its beliefs and practices in the classic BAPTISTS Distinctives. These are not traditions of men but convictions firmly established in the Word of God.

• Biblical Authority — “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

• Autonomy of the Local Church — “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:18).

• Priesthood of the Believer — “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people” (1 Peter 2:9).

• Two Ordinances — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19) and “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Corinthians 11:26).

• Individual Soul Liberty — “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12).

• Saved, Baptized Church Membership — “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized… and the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved” (Acts 2:41, 47).

• Two Offices — “This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work” (1 Timothy 3:1) and qualifications for deacons in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

• Separation — “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

Leadership Structure

EBBC’s mixed servant leadership model ensures balance, accountability, and Christ-centered service as clearly defined in the church Constitution.

• Congregational Leadership — “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul” (Acts 4:32).

• Pastoral Leadership — “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof… not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind” (1 Peter 5:2).

• Administrative Leadership — “Let all things be done decently and in order” (1 Corinthians 14:40).

• Presbyterian (Elder) Oversight — “And when they had ordained them elders in every church… they commended them to the Lord” (Acts 14:23).

• Servant Leadership — “Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
