About SLBC

Pastor Barnes and his wife Teresa moved to New Hampshire in 2010 with a burden and vision to revive church planting in New England. For three years Pastor Barnes served as an associate pastor in Londonderry, New Hampshire. In May 2014, Pastor Barnes and his family started State Line Baptist Church.

Pastor Barnes has been in the ministry full time for over twenty years. Pastor Barnes has assisted churches in New York, North Carolina, Maine and New Hampshire. He has had the privilege to preach in many churches, church revivals, youth meetings all over the Northeast. In 2012 Pastor Barnes started and still directs New England Baptist Teen Camp.

Pastor and Teresa have four sons. Their oldest, John Jr., is married to Laura, and they are serving the Lord together in the ministry.  Joshua recently graduated from Bible college and is actively involved at State Line.  The two youngest, James and Joel, are currently in Bible College preparing for the ministry. Along with the full-time job of raising four boys, Teresa has been involved in Christian education for over twenty-five years.

What to Expect

Visiting a church for the first time sometimes can feel like an awkward experience! But when it comes to State Line, there are some things that we trust will make you feel welcome.

First, expect a church that is honored that you are here – We want you to know first and foremost, that we are honored that you’re visiting with us! Whether your just passing through or live in the area, we’re grateful that you chose to visit with us.

Second, expect meaningful worship – At State Line, we worship Jesus Christ. Our goal is worship, not entertainment, therefore the music is meaningful, enjoyable, and refreshing.

Third, expect a practical Bible message – we believe that the Bible is still relevant for today. When you come to State Line Baptist Church you can expect Bible preaching and teaching that gives Bible answers to today’s life questions and decisions.

Fourth, expect to be impacted for the better – Our goal is simple – to love you and encourage you. We do not believe that everything in your life will go exactly the way you want. But we do believe God’s Word, God’s grace, and God’s love – through the person of Jesus Christ will make an incredible difference in your life!

We look forward to welcoming you this Sunday!   For more information, give us a call at 603.341.3036

What We Believe

We are a Bible-based church and a Bible-centered ministry. Our worship centers on God’s Word. Our society is not in need of man’s opinions or popular trends; it needs the time-honored principles of the Word of God. We encourage our people to bring their Bibles along with them to church.

We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. We believe God has preserved His Word in the English language in the King James Version. The King James Bible is the only Bible we use in all the ministries of State Line Baptist Church.

We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation, and God’s planned purpose in the ages.

We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ.

We believe that salvation is “by grace” plus nothing, minus nothing. We believe that men are justified by faith alone through grace alone in Christ alone.

This is a concise overview of some of the doctrinal beliefs of State Line Baptist Church. If you have any questions about what we believe, please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Barnes at 603.341.3036.
