We want you to know that you are important to us.
We have many opportunities for you to connect to our community of faith to minister and be ministered to.

As we learn about God and his teachings, we gather as families, brothers and sisters in Christ and celebrate the great gift he gave to us - eternal life for all who believe.

We welcome all who want to come and learn of Jesus. Make yourself at home.

Celebrate with us as we have monthly family fellowship dinners after our worship service. Join in and be part of us here a Dover Baptist Temple.

What "Christ People Oriented means to

Christ
Means that there are some key truths that we cannot and will not ever compromise.

The Bible is the inerrant word of God: This means that the Holy Spirit gave the very words of scripture to Holy men of old and that these words are completely with out error as found in the original manuscripts.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20)

The virgin birth, sinless life and deity of Jesus: This means that Jesus was born in a miraculous way, of a virgin (Mary), without an earthly father. As such, Jesus did not have a sin nature and lived a sinless life. In addition, not only was Jesus fully man, but He was fully God and part of the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit). (Matthew 1:23, John 20:28, 1 John 2:23)

Salvation through Faith alone by Grace alone:
This means that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins. We reject the need for any works as a basis for or contributing to salvation. (John 1:12, Eph. 1:7, 2:8-10, Hebrews 9)

The Bodily resurrection of Christ: This means that Jesus literally and physically came back to life after He died on the cross. This was witnessed by not only the Apostles, but by others including a group of over 500 people who He appeared before at one time.
(John 19:30-31, Mark 16:1-6, 1 Corinthians 15:16)

The Authenticity of Christ's miracles and His literal return to the earth: This means that we believe that all that Scripture teaches about our Lord Jesus Christ, from first to last, including His person, work of miracles, also His first and second coming as being literal, accurate and reliable.
(John 14:11,: 1 Thess. 1:10; 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Timothy 3: 1-5; Titus 1:11-15)

People Oriented: Means that while we stand for truth, we realize that unless truth is put into action, it isn't beneficial. So to put truth into action we offer many outreach and services opportunities.
