About us
​
We are Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church. The "lil church across the river where God is first and you are always welcome." BPBC was founded in 1877 in East Milton in Santa Rosa County, Florida. BPBC has served Milton and surrounding communities every since. Spreading the gospel, serving God and his people. We are a traditional, congregational, baptist church.
​
WE BELIEVE in only one true and living God and the trinity of persons in the God-head—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—and yet there are not three, but one. References: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16,17, 28:19; John 1:1, 14,16; II Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:9; I Peter 1:2; I John 5:7.
WE BELIEVE Washing of the Saints’ Feet in an assembly of believers immediately after the Lord’s Supper. References: John 13:2-17; I Timothy 5:9-10.
