About Us
Located in Carthage Tennessee on Carmack Avenue the North Carthage Baptist Church is a saved by grace Baptist Church. We believe that once a person shares a salvation experience his/her first duty is to join with the Lord's church, be baptized, and begin to live a life that reflects the new creature he/she now aspires too as described in 2 Corinthians Chapter 5:17 . All saved people contemplating church membership are encouraged to review the Articles of Faith and Church Ordinances before presenting
them self for membership consideration. The Lord's church can only prevail over the powers of sin when its membership is united in a spirit of love and cooperation. Once church membership is established a person is compelled to support their church with aid and service. Service in the Lord's church is a honor and a privilege that can only be enjoyed by the true children of God. All church members are considered equal and account for one vote in church business affairs and membership elections no matter their age, gender, race or social standing. A church member may use their talent to further the cause of Christ putting into action the missionary spirit first demonstrated by Jesus Christ and later by his disciples in carrying out the Great Commission as portrayed in words of Matt. 28:19.
History
On the 13th day of January in 1954, a tract of land on Carmack Ave. in Carthage was purchased by Elder R.
D. Brooks for the purpose of establishing an old
fashioned place of worship for those of Missionary
Baptist persuasion who lived in and around the area.
His desire was that a place be provided for those
who still believed in sinners making way to an altar
for prayer and supplication until peace with the
Lord was found. Thus construction of a building was
begun March 1, 1954 and upon completion the opening
service was help on October 4, 1954. Members of the South
Carthage Baptist Church were instrumental and primarily
responsible for organizing a Sunday School which had 38
people in attendance on the first Sunday. Today, we
usually have over 100 people in regular attendance.
