About Our Church

Our Church

A love for God, our Creator and Lord and Saviour, a love for our fellow Christians and a love for the lost and dying have been the driving forces of the congregation of Dalton Baptist Church for over forty years.

The doors of the church were first opened in July 1973, by founder and pastor, Dave Greegor. The first services were held in a rented building located on Lincolnway. From July 1973, until January 1974, the church served as a mission of New York Avenue Baptist Church of Arlington, Texas. On Sunday, January 20, 1974, Pastor Greegor was ordained and the church was chartered. After moving to a building in downtown Dalton, the church saw the need for a more adequate auditorium and Sunday school facility and made the decision to build at the current location at 400 Lincolnview Drive in 1979 and held the first service there on May 25, 1980. An addition which doubled the size of the former building was added in 2007, and by God's grace, the mortgage was completely paid in January, 2015, and the church is now debt free.

Pastor Greegor has continued to preach the whole Bible and the message of salvation and the congregation has worshiped, served, fellowshipped and grown in their Christian walk together.

Currently, the church has Sunday school classes for all ages. During the morning worship service there is a junior church for preschoolers and a through-the-Bible junior church for grades one through six. An exciting new music program, Bible Truth Kids, for grades one and up has recently started and takes place during the 7:00 Sunday evening service. Bible Truth Kids are not only learning lessons from the Bible but Scripture songs and getting a good start with lessons on music.

The choir sings in both Sunday services and the church is blessed to have talented people singing or playing specials also. Churchwide activities are planned monthly in addition to activities for the youth group. Annual events include vacation Bible school, children's Christmas program, and the adult Christmas cantata. Ministries for the community include the Shady Lawn ministry, the food pantry ministry and a visitation outreach.

Our Message Is

THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10)
THAT SIN BRINGS DEATH
Spiritual Death (Separation from God now), Physical Death, and Eternal Death (Hell). "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
THAT JESUS PAID FOR YOUR SINS BY DYING ON THE CROSS
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God." (1 Peter 3:18)
THAT YOU MAY BE SAVED TODAY BY RECEIVING CHRIST
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
