WHO ARE WE?
The Northeast Regular
Baptist Fellowship of Churches (NRBFC) is a fellowship of churches in eastern
New York State (east of the Hudson River) and New England who have banded
together for mutual encouragement, edification and evangelism. Our fellowship
with one another is on the basis of our common convictions in the Word of God,
our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and our distinctive, fundamental Baptist
doctrine and practice.
The NRBFC is a friendly fellowship. We are always looking to welcome Pastors, Missionaries, and laypeople into our fellowship. We desire to be a blessing and encouragement to one another in our mutual areas of ministry and service for our Savior.
The NRBFC is a faithful fellowship. While many associations and groups are compromising with error, the NRBFC stands unashamedly for the historic, fundamental Baptist heritage and the truth of God's Word.
The NRBFC is a fruitful fellowship. Many of our affiliated churches are the result of missions efforts; we have a heart for evangelism and church planting in the northeast and around the world. NRBFC churches support more than 128 missionary families in 30 nations and 16 states of the U.S. We desire to see the principles of the Bible bearing fruit in the lives of our people in greater likeness, loyalty, and labor for the Lord Jesus Christ.
WHAT DO WE DO?
The NRBFC, since its inception in
May of 1948, has sought to be a blessing to regular, autonomous Baptist Churches
throughout the New England states and eastern New York. Its fellowshipping
Churches are active in evangelism, church-planting and other missions efforts,
in having Bible conferences (two each year: April and October), in advising and
encouraging Pastors and Churches, and in supporting one another in prayer and
fellowship. Our representative, Pastor Wayne Shatney, is available to preach in
local churches and to offer godly counsel to Churches and Pastors. The NRBFC has
taken a strong stand against apostasy and compromise in these days of blurring
lines and values.
WHERE ARE WE?
We are located across the New
England region and in New York east of the Hudson River. Any local, independent
Baptist Church which would like to find out more about us, or explore
affiliating with us, is welcome to contact our Representative, Rev. Wayne
Shatney.
