1. You need to be saved.
"For all have sinned" Romans 3:23
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

2. You cannot save yourself.
"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us..." Titus 3:5

3. Christ died to save you.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"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." John 3:16

4. Repent and believe the Gospel message.
"I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3
"That if thou shalt believe in thine heart that God had raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

History

Northbrook Baptist Church was established as Crossroads Baptist Mission by Boiling Springs Baptist Church on May 3, 1959. Facilities provided by Boiling Springs Church included a cement block store building and two four room houses located on one half acre of land at Shoally Creek Road.

In 1960 an additional one and one half acres were purchased to allow for future expansion of the mis sion church. And in September of 1963 a six and one-half acre tract of land with a six room frame dwelling was purchased by the Mission for future

location at the corner of Boiling Springs and Shoally Creek Roads. And on May 3, 1965 Crossroads Mission was organized as Northbrook Baptist Church. The date the Northbrook congregation was organized was the sixth anniversary of the Mission. There were 109 charter members.

In June 1968 the church voted to purchase a house on Melody Lane for use as a church parsonage. Also in July of 1968 the church voted to build the first permanent building and was completed in 1969. The building served as an education and worship center. On June 24, 1973 the church broke ground on a 430 seat sanctuary.

On April 27, 2003 the church voted to build a 24,000 square feet building consisting of an 837 seat sanctuary and 30 classrooms. The building was built by Roebuck Builders at a cost of $2,059,000 and after pews and furniture the cost totaled 2.3 million dollars.
