Caution

Assessment

South Shore Baptist Church is a Conservative Baptist church in Hingham, MA, founded 1947. Led by Jeramie Rinne for multiple decades. The Conservative Baptist Association is an evangelical denomination that split from the Northern (now American) Baptists over theological liberalism — meaning CBA churches intentionally chose the conservative path. Elder-led congregational governance is a strong positive. Located on the South Shore of Boston. CBA affiliation signals clear evangelical commitments. Strong prospect for New England.
