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.
• We believe in the sanctity of life. A child is a person at conception. ALL LIVES MATTER.
• 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 caught in sin, but rather look for ways to help them establish biblical reconcilation and forgiveness. ALL LIVES MATTER.
• 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 Word of God.
  
• We are not a "reformed" Church - a "code word" for a Calvinist church.

  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 variety of "ecstatic utterances" heard in some churches. That kind of "language" or "tongue" is found nowhere in the Bible, in context. Nowhere.

• We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman only. There is no other biblical "arrangement" for marriage. (Matt. 19:3).

Pastor Carl Gallups has been the senior pastor of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church in Milton, Florida since 1987. He is a critically acclaimed Amazon TOP-60 best selling author of numerous books and a radio talk show host since 2002 (1330 AM /99.1 FM / 1620 AM / 92.3 FM / ADX Communication Broadcasting Group).

Pastor Gallups is a former decorated Florida law enforcement officer, 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 for which he worked. He received a commendation of valor as well as a commendation of meritorious service. He was 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 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 at Tallahassee, FL.

Carl is a graduate of Florida State University (B.Sc.), The New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and the Florida Law Enforcement Officer Training Academy (including many different law enforcement and investigations specialty training classes). Carl serves on the Board of Regents with the University of Mobile, in Mobile, Alabama - since 2000.

Carl is a frequent guest on numerous television and radio programs. He is also a popular Bible and Prophecy conference speaker. Carl opened the Donald Trump for President Rally in Pensacola, FL in January 2016. 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 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.

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

This ministry is for those with addictions, or for those who have a loved one with an addiction and just needs deeper understanding about the matter of addiction and addiction recovery.

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

Our Pastor's son - Brandon Gallups - is an associate pastor at Redeemed Church and is a long-time addiction ministry specialist 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.

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

We are continually engaged in extensive work on the Gulf Coast, and in our local area, in the areas of disaster relief, Vacation Bible School ministries for smaller churches, Pregnancy Resource and pro-life ministries, and regional relief to those in true need.

We put feet-on-the-ground, from among our own people, in Peru, Guatamala, Africa, and Vanuatu.

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.

We are also a long-time and deep 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. See Rabbi Zev's minister HERE

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

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.
