Our Beliefs:
We believe that the Bible is the only source of authority for all matters of faith and practice, and is the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God. We subscribe to the doctrinal statements in The Baptist Faith and Message <http://www.sbc.net/bfm2000/bfm2000.asp> as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000, with one exception in Section VII, "Baptism and the Lord's Supper." We welcome any visitor to our church who is a Christian to join us is proclaiming "the Lord's death until he comes." (1 Corinthians 11:26)
our pastor:
Bro. Josh contacted Bighorn Baptist Church in October of 2014 in lieu of a call to pastor the church. He was voted in unanimously in November 2014. He and his family were able to move to Fort Smith in May of 2015 and have been with us since.
Bro. Josh was graciously saved on April 6, 1997, and has served many positions in the church since, to include Sunday School Teacher, Discipleship Training Director, and served with the audio/visual team. He answered a call to the ministry on May 6th, of 2014.
Bro. Josh and his wife Mandi, and their children Dallas, Presley, and Paige love being in Montana. They are currently foster parents to two precious children from the Northern Cheyenne Reservation.
I count it an honor to be able to pastor the wonderful people at Bighorn Baptist Church. Consider this my personal invitation for you to join us for worship on Sundays.
