Our History

 Perennial  Springs Baptist Church was established for the work of the Lord in 1885  in the town of Summerville, GA.  The original structure stood with  little change in its appearance until 1948 when rooms were added to  house the growing Sunday School and electricity was installed in 1949.  In 1984 the church burnt down, but within a few short months it was  rebuilt. The church has since added a fellowship hall and a  Parsonage. The Lord blessed these new building projects with the church  being able to pay off every debt before each was used.  Our God is  wonderful and shall supply all of our needs according to his riches in  glory.  Now, in its 131th  year of ministering to the community of Perennial Springs, the church’s  prayer is that the Lord continues to show His glory and power as He has  through so many wonderful years. 

 "We  believe":   That the Holy Bible is the divinely inspired written Word of  God, the record of God's revelation of Himself to man, to be accepted in its entirety as the final authority in matters of faith and practice.                                            That there is no other excepted version of the Bible  than the 1611 King James Version.                                            That Jesus Christ is the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin; that He lived in this world, yet without  sin; that He was crucified, and in His death, bore the sins of all men  of all time; that He was buried and on the third day arose from the  dead, thus establishing redemption for all men who accept Him as Savior;  that He ascended unto God the Father and will come again to receive  unto Himself the redeemed, passing judgment on all who reject Him as  Savior.
                                           That the Holy Spirit is the divine third person of the trinity;  that He is ever present to convict the unbeliever and to comfort,  strengthen and direct the believer.
                                           That every man is a sinner by nature, and sins of his own free  will; that he lives under the condemnation of sin and needs to be saved;  that salvation is a work of grace, received when the unbeliever repents  of His sins, believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, and accepts Him as his  personal Savior; and that salvation is a present and permanent  possession of true believers.
                                          That the ordinance of baptism is the immersion in water of a  professed believer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy  Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a  crucified, buried and risen Savior, and his own death to sin, the burial  of his old life and his resurrection to a new life in Jesus Christ.
                                          That  the Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the  Body of Christ, in obedience to His command, partake of the bread and  the fruit of the vine, to commemorate the sacrificial death of the Lord  Jesus Christ.
