Biblically-Faithful Churches

One of the greatest delights of my heart is the local church. For many years I have been seeking and adding to a list of Biblically-faithful local churches, both for my own edification through their sermons, and so that I would have sound assemblies to which to direct others. The following list is not exhaustive, and I would not necessarily endorse or support all aspects of their preaching or ministries. However, they are churches whose ministry of the Word has been of particular fruitfulness to me.

Calvary Bible Church (Kalamazoo, MI)

Pastor John Barnett

Calvary Baptist Church (Simpsonville, SC)
Pastor Dean Taylor

Christ Fellowship Baptist Church (Mobile, AL)

(Steven J. Lawson pastored here from 2003 util 2014. Nearly all of his sermons from that time are archived on his Sermon Audio page.)

Colonial Baptist Church (Virginia Beach, VA)

(I attended this tremendous church from January 2010-May 2013. In 2015, after 33 years of ministry at CBC, Pastor Daniel Davey retired to focus full-time on the presidency of Virginia Beach Theological Seminary, the graduate educational institution he has overseen since its founding in 1995. In 2016, Brent Belford accepted a call as the new pastor of CBC. You can find many of Pastor Davey's sermons here.)

(This pastor Davey is the younger brother of my former pastor, Daniel Davey. He is a fine expositor and shepherd in his own right, as well as the president of Shepherds Theological Seminary.)
