About Us

The Sumter Baptist Temple was started in June of 1975, as a result of the burden God gave Pastor Eddie Richardson, for his hometown of Sumter, South Carolina. Pastor Richardson has been the only pastor to date. He and his wife Betty have been faithfully serving the Lord with gladness and sharing the true love for the church and the people of Sumter. He is faithfully preaching the Book- The KJV Bible, The Blood-as the only way to have your sins washed away, and The Blessed Hope-that Christ will return and take His bride away.

You are given a cordial invitation to you and your family to visit with us at Sumter Baptist Temple. We believe you will find our church to be a very friendly place

What we believe......

We believe in the inspiration and authority of Scriptures. (Psalm 19:7-11 2 ;Timothy 3:16
2 Peter 1: 19-21)

We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation and God's
planned purpose in all ages. (Acts 20:21 ; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit ( 1 John 5:20 )

We believe salvation is "By grace ,through faith" plus nothing, minus nothing
( Ephesians 2:8 ; John 3:3 ; John 1:12)

We believe men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before
God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
( Romans 8:1 ; 1 Peter 1:4-5 )

We believe in the visible, personal and pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ
( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 )

We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and everlasting conscious punishment of the lost (John 14:3 ; Luke 16 )
