A Quick Summary Of Our Faith and Beliefs

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, including the creation of the world in six, 24-hour days.
• We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit..
• We believe in the deity of Jesus, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, and in our redemption through His shed blood.
• We believe in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent, personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of final judgment and eternal separation from God.
• We believe in the glorious appearing of our Lord at the End of Days, to usher-in righteousness and justice, and the restoration of all things. Our pastor stands where the first 300 years of the early church stood in the only systematic view of eschatology that was preached: Historic Premillenialism (Post-Trib Rapture).

• We believe in the sanctity of life. A child is a person at conception.
• We believe a marriage is between one man and one woman only (Matthew 19:4).
• We believe in displaying the redemptive love of Jesus Christ toward all others, as much as it is possible with us to do so. We do not condemn those entangled in sin, but rather look for ways to help them establish biblical reconcilation and forgiveness if they will allow us to do so.
• We believe in the nation of Israel's right to exist. We believe the revenant nation of Israel is a 2,800-year-old fulfilled prophecy and a sign to the nations that God is on His throne and that the Bible is the true and eternally trustworthy Word of God.
  
• We are not a "reformed" Church - a "code word" for a Calvinist church.
  
  See this article: http://www.hickoryhammockbaptist.org/calvin.html
  
  Also see this booklet that Pastor Carl wrote about the topic: http://www.hickoryhammockbaptist.org/booklets/calvinism.html


• We are not a "tongues speaking" church, in public worship services. Especially the wide variety of "ecstatic utterances" heard in some churches. That kind of "language" or "tongue" is found nowhere in the Bible, in context.
  See this 7 minute video for a starter of understanding on the topic: http://www.carlgallups.com/carltube/tonguestruth.html
  
  Also see this brief article written by Pastor Carl: http://www.hickoryhammockbaptist.org/quick%20answers/tongues.html


• We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman only. The Bible teaches that God's judgment comes upon those who altar this truth. There is no other biblical "arrangement" for marriage. (Matt. 19:3ff).

There are two primary ways that we can help you or a loved one with addiction problems.

1. Our church - HICKORY HAMMOCK BAPTIST CHURCH in Milton, FL. has an on-campus Addiction Recovery meeting and class called Chainbreakers. It meets several times a week. This ministry is for those with addictions, or for those who have a loved one with an addiction and need deeper understanding about the matter of addiction and addiction recovery.

2. We have a deep ministry alliance with Redeemed Ministries in Cleveland, AL.

Pastor Carl's son - Brandon Gallups - is the current Sr. Pastor at Wacissa Community Church in Wacissa, Florida - just south and east of Tallahassee. Pastor Brandon used to serve at Redeemed Church as Associate Pastor and is a long-time addiction ministry specialist, and was the Director of the addiction program, working under the senior pastor Chris Gortney. My ministry at HHBC, Brandon's Ministry at Waccissa Community Church, and Redeemed Ministry's Pastor Chris Gortney are all deeply connected in addiction recovery ministry and the Redeemed Recovery In-House Program. Redeemed ministries runs a highly respected and renowned in-house addiction program. They minister to people from all over the nation, and they often have people in their program coming from our own region.

If you or a loved one needs to speak to someone at Redeemed about getting in their program, please call the church office at 850.623.8959 and we will put you in touch with the appropriate addiction counselor and intake person. In an emergency, and after office hours at the church, you can call 850.232.3648 and someone will help you get the process for addiction ministry started.

I Recommend Dr. Sam Serio as an experienced minister and counselor in all areas of Sexual Hurt. Dr Serio is a friend and professional acquaintance of mine.
He is also a solid, biblical, born-again believer in Jesus. Dr. Serio ministers to men, women, pastors, and congregations. He is highly recommended by renowned authors, teachers, and ministers.

You can start by reviewing Dr. Serio's website and take a look at all the services of ministry that he offers. Then, if you wish, you can contact Dr. Serio from his website,
or directly through the email address below.

Services and Ministry Offered

From Dr. Serio's website:

"If you are interested in taking that first step in healing your sexual hurt, here is the place to begin… Maybe you’ve never told anyone or maybe you told
people who didn’t believe you or support you? Maybe you’ve felt too embarrassed to share the details of what was done to you? Maybe you feel too ashamed to share
what you’ve done but you need to get it off your chest? Maybe you’re still wondering if you were responsible for what happened and need to talk about it?
Maybe you feel like your life is out of control and need some help? Maybe you have flashbacks and memories that come out of nowhere, leaving you depressed for
days or angry at people? Maybe you need some wise advice in learning how to cope, grieve, forgive or love? Maybe you’re having marriage problems, health issues or
relationship bumps as a result of your pain? Maybe you told people who made you feel worse?

"Maybe you know someone else who would benefit from some confidential and customized counseling? Do you have a friend, classmate, colleague, or family member that would
benefit from your purchasing some counseling time for them? It would be the most life-changing gift you could ever give to them.

"I am compassionate and competent, warm and wise when it comes to understanding your sexual hurts. This is my specialty. I won’t be shocked and you won’t be disappointed.
You’ve already kept this secret long enough. You’re not alone and you need someone to finally talk to. You need someone who gets it and who has helped others to cope with
the same experience or temptation in their life. Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to someone who will help you heal? Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to someone who would help you find
your strength in God since you’re fresh out of ideas and energy at this point in your life? You’ve rewound and repeated this event over and over - let’s try something new.
Contact me. Let’s get started."

George Carneal can help you get started on your journey of healing & peace!

Pastor Carl Gallups says: I highly recommend George Carneal to you. He is an experienced minister and counselor in all areas of same-sex attraction.
George is a dear friend and professional ministry colleague of mine. We have known each other for years. He has been a guest speaker among people of my church and two other churches
that specialize in addiction recovery and extreme sexual hurts, with which my ministry is also deeply affiliated. George is a treasured co-laborer in this ministry and a dear friend to us.
He is also a solid, biblical, born-again believer in Jesus. George ministers to men, women, teens, pastors, and congregations.
He is highly recommended by renowned authors, teachers, media outlets, and ministers.

or directly through a secure email connection below.

Services and Ministry Offered

From George's website:

George Carneal, author of “From Queer to Christ," grew up in the ’70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt.
For years he struggled with his Christian faith and a same-sex attraction. George shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality,
in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals. Perhaps sharing his journey through the eyes, and mind, of a confused child dealing with a
same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating these two worlds.

George would eventually spend 25 years immersed in the homosexual lifestyle (mostly in the Los Angeles club scene) and shares the pitfalls of that life.
His story is not about glamorizing a life he once lived. This is merely his journey and what he learned along the way. George is a frequent speaker at
churches and conferences, has appeared on numerous television and radio broadcasts, as well as contributing quotes to online articles for LifeSite News,
Christian Life Magazine, and The Christian Post.

Deliverance from that bondage is possible. There is hope in Christ!

Pastor Gallups was also a former decorated Florida law enforcement officer for almost eleven years, having served with two different sheriff's offices under three different sheriff's administrations. He was the recipient of the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award - twice - once in each of the two sheriff's offices, and the recipient of a Commendation of Valor for risking his life in the line of duty as well as two commendations of Meritorious Service in the Line of Duty. He was also given an award by a regional chapter of the NAACP for risking his life in the line of duty after going into a burning apartment complex to pull several occupants out to safety. Carl was Florida's very first 18-year-old Corrections Officer with the Florida Dept. of Corrections. In some of the last years of his law enforcement oriented career he served as the Assistant to the Administrator of the Bureau of Admissions and Release Authority with the Florida Dept. of Corrections Central Office Headquarters at Tallahassee, FL.

Carl is a graduate of Florida State University (B.Sc. Criminology), The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div. - Emphasis in Theology, and Greek & Hebrew Studies), and the Florida Law Enforcement Officer Training Academy (including several law enforcement techniques and criminal/forensics investigations specialty training courses). Carl serves on the Board of Regents with the University of Mobile, in Mobile, Alabama - since 2000. Carl also opened the Donald Trump for President Rally in Pensacola, FL in January 2016 at request of the Trump campaign's Florida representatives. This was then-candidate Trump's very first Florida Rally. He was also deputized, in 2016, as a Special Deputy by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, formerly of the Maricopa County Arizona Sheriff's Office.

Carl is a frequent guest on numerous renowned national and international television and radio programs. He is also a popular Bible and Prophecy conference speaker. Carl has preached and taught crusades, Bible conferences, Church services - on three continents and in four nations (Israel, Canada, USA, Peru). His USA preaching includes Alaska, Hawaii, California, New York, all over the South East, as well as in Michigan, Wisconsin, Utah, Missouri, Arizona, and Texas. He has preached from Long Island, NY to Honolulu, Hawaii. His Canadian preaching includes the Provinces of Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia - in the cities of Toronto, Calgary, Kamloops, Cochran, and Vancouver. He has preached all over the city of Lima and the district of Comas Peru, in numerous churches, crusades, and Bible conferences.

Carl has also preached in national and international Youth Evangelism and Discipleship Conferences all over the US and Canada, several of them with well over 3,000 to 5,000 in attendance. One conference was preached in tandem with Josh McDowell of Campus Crusade for Christ, at Ridgecrest North Carolina.

Over his lengthy ministry at Hickory Hammock Church in Milton, Florida (since 1987) Pastor Carl has led his church into the world of global ministries - "feet on the ground" - in numerous platforms of hands-on missions in the local area, the regional Gulf Coast area - including intensive involvement in addiction recovery ministeries and prison ministries; as well as in national and international arenas. These ministries involve crusades, community-wide outreach ministries (reaching thousands of people) medical relief, pregnancy resource centers, disaster relief, putting on Vacation Bible School ministries in churches that need assistance, assisting smaller churches in all manner of ways, and in cooperation of other congregations who are desiring to partner in missions and ministry outreach with HHBC. Pastor Carl has led his church to be involved in numerous international missions endeavors including going into several different nations in Africa, on the Pacific Island of Vanuatu, in the region of Lima - Peru, Guatemala, and in Israel.

CARL SAYS: My passion in life is to faithfully advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, equipping believers to be faithful ambassadors of that Kingdom work. We are living in the most profoundly prophetic times since the first coming of Jesus Christ. I am striving to wake up the church-at-large to this biblical truth.

HHBC is a hands-on missions and outreach oriented church family.

Since 2002, we have consistently and generously supported the Jack Goldfarb Christian School in Comas-Lima Peru. It is a school for needy children in a poverty sticken area outside of Lima. We send financial aid and send mission teams that work along side our brothers and sisters in Peru.

We are ministry partners with the Christian Missionary Alliance Church of Comas - Pastor Angel Barrientos - since the early 2000s.

We are also a long-time ministry partner with Messianic Rabbi Zev Porat of Messiah of Israel Ministries in Tel Aviv, Israel. Pastor Carl and Rabbi Zev are dear friends and ministry partners. They do TV and radio outreach together, Bible and Prophecy conferences all over the U.S., and trips back and forth between Israel and the U.S. They have written a book together - THE RABBI, THE SECRET MESSAGE, AND THE IDENTITY OF MESSIAH. That book is leading many Jews in Israel and around the world to Jesus as Messiah and Lord.

We have a number of people in our church deeply involved in Kairos Prison Ministry International.

We have very strong working ties with Redeemed Ministries in Cleveland, Alabama - an alcohol and drug rehab program for men (We can refer and assist women as well).

Our church also gives a sizeable portion of our overall budget resources to various missions endeavors: local, regional, national, and international. We also give through the Cooperative Progam (Missions) of the Southern Baptist Convention.
