Pillar - Small

The Pillar Network is a community of SBC & International Baptist Churches that are doctrinally aligned, missionally-driven, & committed to equipping, planting & revitalizing churches, TOGETHER. Pillar churches share a common DNA:

1) GOSPEL PROCLAMATION: We proclaim the gospel of our Sovereign Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;

2) BIBLE-BASED: We submit to the Bible as our final authority in all matters of belief and life;

3) LIVE EXPOSITION: We promote live, expository preaching to equip the church;

4) ELDER-LED: We encourage churches to be led by a plurality of male elders/pastors;

5) CONFESSIONALLY BAPTISTIC: We cooperate as Southern Baptists too fulfill the Great Commission;

6) KINGDOM MINDED: We commit to kingdom multiplication through church planting and revitalization.
