North Brewton Baptist Church is committed to the proclamation of God’s Word, and we believe, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Our pastor regularly preaches through an entire book of the Bible over the course of several weeks or months. This enables deeper understanding of how a biblical book fits into the grand story of redemption that God is orchestrating throughout all of history.
