Squire
Parsons
Bloomingdale Baptist is pleased to welcome Southern
Gospel Music Association Hall of Famer Squire Parsons
to our Anniversary Service this morning.
One of America’s best loved soloists, Squire Parsons has
been recognized over the years by SINGING NEWS as
“Favorite Baritone,” “Favorite Gospel Songwriter,” and
“Favorite Southern Gospel Male Singer.” A prolific songwriter, Squire is perhaps best known for his song, “Sweet
Beulah Land.”
An ordained Baptist minister, Squire has been recognized
for his devotion to family, service to church, involvement
in community affairs, and contributions to the gospel music industry. Squire and his wife, Linda live in North Carolina and have four adult children.
HOW CAN I JOIN BLOOMINGDALE
BAPTIST CHURCH?
By trusting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord
and desiring baptism by immersion as a public
profession of your faith.
By being baptized if you have trusted Christ as
your Savior, but have not made a public profession of that faith through baptism by immersion.
By transferring your membership by letter from
another Baptist church.
By statement as having been scripturally baptized
by immersion as a believer.
