J esus is the Savior, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. Everyone is born into sin, and the consequence is death. Through repentance and faith in His Son Jesus Christ you can be born again and have victory over sin & death.
Romans 3:10 - As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Matt 3:2 - ...Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Through repentance (turning from sin) and faith (turning to Christ) you can be saved.

Pastor Larry Richmond and his wife Evalynn
Pastor Richmond came to Connecticut in 1981 to plant Anchor Baptist Church. After a six month internship, the Church held its first services on April 4, 1982 at Gales Ferry Community Center. The Church held its first services at its present location February 23, 1997.
The Richmond's moved to Connecticut from Chattanooga, Tennessee where Pastor Richmond attended seminary at Temple Baptist Theological Seminary in the years 1976 - 1981.
While serving with the U.S. Air Force at McConnell AFB in Wichita, Kansas, Pastor Richmond accepted Jesus Christ as Savior through the influence of his roommate and his wife to be, Evalynn. Pastor met his wife at First Bible Baptist Church in Wichita and both began serving the Lord together. They were married November 22, 1975.
The Richmond's have three married children and five grandchildren. Their daughter Stacia and her husband Will live in New London with their three children Lydia, Samuel and Benjamin. Their son Nathan and his wife Ginny live in Greenville, South Carolina with their two children Ellie and Chase. Their son Daniel and his wife Alischa live in Westfield, Massachusetts.
• BIBLE: We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and practice, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God breathed. We use the King James Version in our services. (II Tim. 3:16,17; II Pet. 1:21)
• JESUS CHRIST: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. (Matt. 1:8; Luke 19:10; John 1:1,2,14) Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross, a substitutionary sacrifice, and physically rose from the dead the third day following His death. (Matt 28:6; Rom. 3:24,25; II Cor. 5:21; Eph. 1:7) We believe in the personal, imminent, pre-tribulation, pre-millennial coming of our Lord Jesus in the air for His saints, and the personal, visible, and glorious return of Christ to the earth with his saints. (Acts 1:11; I Thes. 4:13-18; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-16)
• HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person, co-equal with God, who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and that He is the supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ. (John 16:7-15); I Cor. 12:12-14; Rom. 8:9) We do not believe that speaking in tongues is for this present age.
• SALVATION: We believe that salvation is the gift of God, brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sin. (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 6:23; 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; I Pet. 1:18,19)
• ETERNAL LIFE: We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men: the saved to eternal life in Heaven, the unsaved to eternal punishment in hell. Heaven and hell are physical, literal places. (Matt. 25:41-46; Mark 9:42-50; Luke 16:19-31; John 11:25,26; II Cor 5:1-8)
