"Hello,
my name is Bill Sheets, and I am the Pastor
of the Bunker Hill Free Will Baptist Church. We are glad you came
here and want you to enjoy your visit. Feel welcome to contact
me by email or call the church at
(765) 689-7551 with any questions or comments. To better
understand who we are see our church Covenant
and Articles
of Faith described
in our
Free Will Baptist Treatise."

"The
following is a description of the elements included in our Free
Will Baptist emblem seen to the left.
In the four corners of the ship's
sail, the symbols of earliest Christianity are enhanced by modern
emblems of a vital living faith the HOLY BIBLE,
the LOAF and CUP, the BASIN and TOWEL
and CLASPED HANDS the symbols of Free Will
Baptists."
The
SHIP symbolizes the Church and represents all the members
pulling in one direction, guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Seeking to fulfill Christ's last command to the Church, Free Will
Baptists unite in one purpose with one priority to proclaim the
good news of the gospel throughout the world.
The FISH
represented in the symbol by the space between the bottom of the
sail and the top of the ship's body, is one of the most popular
symbols for Jesus Christ. Many believe that it was a secret symbol
which identified Christians during periods of persecution. The
word "fish" in the first century Greek ichthus
is an acrostic
for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.
The
ANCHOR on the bow
of the ship symbolizes the Christian hope of salvation, "the
sure, strong and steadfast anchor of the soul."
The CROSS The
mast of the ship in the emblem forms the most familiar symbol in
the history of the world, the CROSS an instrument of execution and
death turned into a worldwide emblem of hope and love by the death
and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The BIBLE
has always been at the heart of our life as Free Will Baptists,
the centrality of the scriptures. Free Will Baptists adopt the
Word of God as our only rule of faith and practice. We believe the
scriptures to be inspired,
inerrant,
infallible
and immutable.
The CUP and LOAF
represent the Lord's supper, one of the gospel ordinances. This
ordinance commemorates the death of Christ for our sins in the use
of the bread which He made the emblem of His broken body and the
cup the emblem of His shed blood. Participation in this ordinance
expresses love for Christ, faith and hope in Him, and serves as a
pledge of perpetual fidelity and faithfulness to Him.
The BASIN and TOWEL
historically symbolize the service and outreach of the church, but
for us it has an added significance of representing our practice
of washing the Saints' feet.
The CLASPED HANDS
symbolize many things to us: Fellowship, Brotherhood and the
warmth of our faith. Perhaps the most important thing symbolized
by the clasped hands is our commitment to reach out to people
around the world with the good news.
