NEW COVENANT BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP EVANS N.Y.
We find ourselves truly humbled and blessed of God to be able to participate in the preaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Formerly the FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF EVANS N.Y, New Covenant Baptist Fellowship is a new church plant at a historic location. The former church which occupied the building since 1830 began as a Regular Baptist Church. The Regular Baptists were the descendants of the Particular Baptists who came from England who believed in the Doctrines of Grace commonly referred to as Calvinism. This doctrine was the historical foundation of the church and was the prevailing doctrine of Baptists until the emotional Revivalist Movement of the pre-civil war era began to show that churches could experience growth more readily by emotionally stirring the hearers to accept Christ rather than preaching the Gospel with passion and concern for lost souls and waiting for God to prove salvation by genuine repentance and faith in the hearer. Sadly, even this church after a number of years began to follow the way of the General Baptists. This was reflected in the governing principles of the church moving further from Scripture and adopting man-centered ideas on how to be a church.
We have been given this building to establish a fellowship of New Covenant believers, by God's grace and enabling.
Doctrinally, we identify with the 1st London Baptist Confession 1646 a historical confession of the truths of Scripture that emphasize the uniqueness of the New Covenant and the Christ centered theology of the New Testament that emphasizes that salvation is and always was, a work of a Sovereign God by grace through the work of Jesus Christ for both Old and New Covenant believers.
We look to the priority of Jesus Christ in all things and believe that the clearest approach to understanding Scripture is through the logical priority of the New Testament. This means we look to all of Scripture for it’s meaning first through the lens of the New Testament because it is the fulfillment of all of what the Old Testament Scripture pointed to – and that is - the Glory of God with the priority of the revelation of Jesus Christ.
