Caution

Assessment

Faith Baptist Church at 4640 Southeast Loop 281, Longview, TX 75602. David Webber serves as pastor and co-elder. Self-described as a 1689 Reformed Baptist Church — adheres to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. This is significant: confessional Reformed Baptists hold to strong Calvinistic soteriology, covenant theology (from Baptist perspective), and Biblical authority. Small church with family character. Strong option for men seeking confessional Reformed Baptist theology.
