What We Believe
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). Listen to Pastor Carl's teaching on Tribulation and Revelation HERE
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.
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
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).
Need Help With Addiction?
There are two primary ways that we can help you or a loved one with addiction problems.
1. Our church - HICKORY HAMMOCK 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 an associate pastor at Redeemed Church and is a long-time addiction ministry specialist, and the Director of the addiction program, working under the senior pastor Chris Gortney. 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.

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.

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 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 very strong working ties with Redeemed Ministries in Cleveland, Alabama - an alchol 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.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your
heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you
profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him
will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and
Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
