The Pastor's Vision for
The Greater Solid Rock Baptist Church
In times such as these, God is looking for a
church that is S.A.V.E.D!
S - Spirit-Filled
A - Accountable
V - Visible
E - Educated
D - Dedicated
With
the power of God, we will strive as a church family to be a church
that is pleasing in the sight of God and humankind. A church that
can make a difference and a church that is S.A.V.E.D.!
"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it
plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the
vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall
speak, and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely come. It will not tarry." - Habakkuk 2:2
