BROOKLYN BIBLE CHAPEL is located at Sixth, Highland and Jack Street in Brooklyn, Maryland. From Ritchie Highway turn east at Jack Street and drive six blocks, or from Patapsco Avenue, turn south at Sixth Street and bear right at the fork to the Chapel.
THE CHAPEL is the meeting place of an assembly of Christians meeting in the Lord's Name alone. This assembly is not affiliated with any denomination, nor with any of the so called "tongue" or "holiness" groups, and has no sympathy with the many false and fanatical cults so prevalent in these last days.
THE REASON for this undenominational stand is a sincere desire to preach and practice all that God has revealed in His Word for His people during this present church-age. There is no desire to separate from other true believers, but from those things which are contrary to the will and Word of God. Thus a clean scriptural fellowship is provided, here all true Christians may enjoy their spiritual privileges and assume their responsibilities.
A HEARTY WELCOME is cordially extended to all true, born-again believers to meet and fellowship with us in the things of the Lord. We recognize but one body and one membership that of the Body of Christ, the true Church. The unsaved are not only invited but urged to attend the services at the Chapel where they will hear only the true word of God and the soul-saving gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. (Please note.

We believe that the substitution of any human name for that of our Lord Jesus Christ is
derogatory to His name which has been given the highest place in glory (Phil.
2:9-11
We stand for and proclaim constantly, the old-fashioned, soul-saving Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, absolutely untainted by any modernistic teachings, and errors. This gospel we believe to be alone, "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Rom. 1:16); and is defined in I Cor. 15:14 as: "Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the scriptures." The true heart reception of this message of salvation, and through it of Christ, as
Savior and Lord, will alone deliver from sin and hell, and bring the believing sinner into
possession of eternal life, the forgiveness of sins and peace with God.
(Rom. 10:9
We believe Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, left two ordinances for His people
during this age. These are to be faithfully practiced during His absence: BAPTISM by
immersion for true believers upon their confession of faith in Him (Mat.
28:19
The absolute accuracy of the word of God, the Bible, It's verbal inspiration and
all-sufficiency as the Christians rule of life and practice (II Tim 3:16-17 The one true God, a trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in all things as to
eternity, omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience (Mat. 28:19 The virgin birth of Christ (Luke 1:26-35); His absolute sinlessness (II Cor.

(John 19:30 Salvation by grace alone, through faith (Eph. 2-8-9 The efficacy of the blood of Christ, apart from which there can be no salvation (Heb.
9:22 The complete justification of the believer in Christ (Acts 13:38,39 The present assurance of salvation (I John 5:11-13 The present possession of eternal life by every true believer (John 5:24 The eternal security of the genuine believer (John 10:28-30 The immediate entry into a literal hell of every soul dying without Christ (Luke
16:19-31); the resurrection of all such to stand before the Great White Throne of
Judgment (John 5:28,29 The resurrection of all believers at the coming of Christ and the review and reward of
their life and works (Luke 14:14 Separation from sin and the world by the Christian and a godly life to the glory of God

We believe the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20
The study of the Word of God finds a definite place not only in the Bible Class but also at the weeknight service. and in special Bible Classes during the year. Prayer is realized as the necessary ingredient of every meeting; special time being set apart for it. We believe in the priesthood of all believers whereby all are free, as led by the
Spirit. to engage in worship to the Father (I Peter 2:5 We do not believe in Christian women exercising authority or leadership in the local
church, in administration, preaching, praying or teaching in mixed audience. However, we
fully believe that qualified Christian women have a wonderful sphere of usefulness among
their own sex and with children (I Cor. 14:34-35 We believe leadership is to be exercised by Elders, spiritual men, well known and
approved by the Assembly. We also recognize the service of Deacons in the operation and
conduct of Church business. (I Tim. 5:17 We believe in the regular systematic setting aside of the Lord's portion, and the
liberal supporting of the Lord's servants and service through the freewill offerings of
God's people. both collectively and individually. (I Cor. 9:14
Then you need a Savior! We are deeply concerned as to your eternal welfare, and invite
you most heartily to attend our Gospel service at your very earliest opportunity. You will

Gospel. (Rom. 3:23 |
