Alturas Baptist Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. It is located in Alturas, California, the Seat of Modoc County, north-eastern-most in California, bordering Nevada and Oregon.  ABC has been described as an unusually friendly, embracing fellow-ship in our Lord Jesus Christ.  Worshipful music and timely Bible teaching characterize our ministry.

How to Become a Christian

The Bible's plan of salvation is as simple as ABC:
A-dmit you have sinned
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
B-elieve Christ died for YOU
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
C-all on Him to save you NOW
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:13

Church Membership is a covenant of faith we make with the Lord and with His local church body.  Anyone can become a member of Alturas Baptist Church (1) by profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, followed by baptism (immersion), (2) by letter of transfer from another SBC church; or (3) by statement of prior conversion experience and scriptural baptism. Because we believe Jesus called people to make a public commitment to Him, we believe that these decisions should be made publicly, as well. Thus, we provide an invitation to commitment in our worship services.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We seek to be faithful to the command of Jesus to go into the entire world with the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.  As our Savior has instructed, we seek to reach out in Christian witness and ministry to our community, state, nation, and world.

We express our beliefs in agreement with the current statement of the Baptist Faith and Message
as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention.
