About Us


We are a United Pentecostal church located in the South Baton Rouge area on Burbank Drive between Bluebonnet Blvd and Gardere Lane.  We believe the Bible to be inspired of God and it is the infallible Word of God,.  We believe "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"  II Timothy 3:16

Message From Our Pastor

I stand in great awe and humbleness to serve as the pastor of Ephesus, as it is a great joy to introduce you to our church!  My desire is that you have a life changing experience with God.  There is a great calling to carry on the gospel of Jesus Christ and rejoice knowing that He has purchased the church and our salvation with His own precious blood. 


At the Church of Ephesus, we embark on new journeys for a new season.  No matter how complex and changing our world is around us, we must rest in the simplicity of Christ.  We must seek to make Him truly the Lord of our life and fulfill the eternal purpose He has for us.  In order to fulfill His purpose for our lives as the body of Christ, we endeavor to keep the bond of peace and pursue that which we have been apprehended of. 


Here at Ephesus, our doors are open to people of all backgrounds, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journeys.  I hope that you come and feel that you are among friends.  If you are truly expecting to receive something from the Lord, He will not let you down.


It is my desire for all who enter into the doors of Ephesus, to come to the knowledge of the born again experience (John 3:5).  Just as hundreds of souls received His precious gift of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost and had their sins remitted as they were baptized (In the Name of Jesus Christ).  I encourage you to come and take that great step today.


Come and Experience Jesus at The Church of Ephesus - Home of the First Love!


Lord Bless,

Pastor Richard S. Bromfield



What We Believe


Column

Repentance


"Pardon and forgiveness of sins is obtained by genuine repentance, a confessing and forsaking of sins.  We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  John the Baptist preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and the apostles emphasized it to both Jews and Gentiles.


Romans 5:11, Acts 2:38, 11:18, 17:30

Column

Water Baptism


The scriptural mode of baptism is immersion, and is only for those who have fully repented, having turned from their sins and a love of the world.  It should be administered by a duly authorized minister of the gospel, in obedience to the Word of God, and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Acts of the Apostles; thus obeying and fulfilling Matthew 28:19


Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5

Column

The Holy Spirit


John the Baptist, in Matthew 2:11, said "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire."  Jesus, in Acts 1:5 , said, "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. "Luke tells us in Acts 2:4, "They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues [languages] , as the Spirit gave them utterance."  It is scriptural to expect all who receive the gift, filling, or baptism of the Holy Spirit to receive the same physical, initial sign of speaking with other tongues.


Acts 2:4, 10:46, 19:6
