We are delighted to have you visit our church website. It is my privilege to serve as the pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church. I am a graduate of Tabernacle Baptist Bible College in Greenville, S.C. where I was priviledged to sit under Dr. Harold B. Sightler for Three and one-half years. I believe strongly in carrying on the heritage I recieved from my Pastor John Ward and men like Dr. Sightler and Richard Riley who I served under in Ft. Myers Florida. I hope you give me the opportunity to serve your family and watch over their souls!
We make no apology for strong preaching, sound doctrine, and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. So come join us on our journey to a "Better Country."

Gal. 2:20
Remember Thy Heritage
Remember now thy heritage
For blood, sweat, and tears,
Were shed by faithful men
Who stood fast through the years.
They reminded us "God Can"
even in these perilous times,
how avoiding "Earth's Madness"
would bring us joy sublime!
"The Best Is Yet To Come"
They'd remind us when hope seemed gone,
That "Noone Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus"
When we find ourselves alone.
That "Somebody Touched Heaven For Me"
When I was deep in sin,
How the "Grace Of God" would keep us
Until the very end!
The torch that lights our way still shines,
and a debt we'll ever owe
To men and women all o'er this earth
Who went against the flow.
When liberals scoffed and modernists said,
Your of narrow mind you know.
They grabbed thier old 1611's
and armed to fight they'd go!
"Payday Someday" they thundered forth!
and warned of "God's Deadlines"
How a "Redlight To Hell" still burns,
And how "It's Been Worth Every Mile"
So torch in hand I mean to pass
this heritage to daughter and son,
And "Touring That City" I hope to have heard
These words "My Child Well Done"
