Our Story

About Our Church

A heritage of worship in Tallahassee, Florida.

Testerina Primitive Baptist Church has been a beacon of faith in our community for generations. We are a Primitive Baptist congregation committed to the simple, scriptural worship of God through the singing of hymns, prayer, and the preaching of His Word.

Our church is more than a building — it is a family. We gather to encourage one another in the faith, lift up our neighbors in love, and pass down to the next generation the timeless gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement

Our Mission

To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that turns non-Christians into converts, converts into disciples, and disciples into mature fruitful leaders, who will in turn go into the world and reach others for Christ.

Vision Statement

Our Vision

Our vision is to commit to God and make a commitment to our church. And our commitment is:

  • I am committed to having a new or renewing my attitude about our church.
  • I will seek to put the needs of others before my own needs.
  • I will not be a part of the problem, but a part of the solution.
  • I will seek to be a unified member of our church.
  • And love our church as God loves us.

Scriptural Worship

We hold to the doctrines of grace and the sufficiency of Scripture in all things.

Loving Fellowship

We share meals, prayers, and burdens — a family bound together by Christ.

Community Outreach

We serve our neighbors through ministry, our Family Resource Center, and acts of compassion.

What We Believe

The Old Paths

As Primitive Baptists, we strive to walk in the old paths (Jeremiah 6:16) — holding to the doctrines once delivered to the saints. We believe in the sovereignty of God, salvation by grace through faith, the authority of Scripture, and the perseverance of the saints.
