About us
Our Distinctives
1. We believe in and unapologetically preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teach the precepts of the Bible, the only inspired and inerrant Word of God. We want to see people receive Jesus as their Savior and grow in their faith as they study and apply the teaching of the Bible to their lives.
2. We are a church family and a family church. We value the relationships we have with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Everyone in the family, regardless of age, has a place at Allenville and we work together to do our best to meet one another’s needs. Although we’re a small church, we have a big heart for people.
3. We are a Baptist Church in name and heritage. As such we acknowledge the more historic values of Biblical doctrine and practice. Therefore, we reject the liberal theology, contemporary teaching, and postmodern practices that many Baptist churches have adopted in disobedience to the Word of God, compromising Truth and tolerating sin in the Body of Christ.
4. We strive to be all that God has called us to be, sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit under the headship of Jesus Christ. Accordingly, we resist man-made labels, models, programs and philosophies that some have devised and marketed under the guise of church growth and outreach strategies.
Values, Vision, and Mission
Our Pastor
Pastor Dave Eisley has served Community Baptist Church of Allenville since 1998. He was born, raised, and attended College in Pennsylvania, and received his Seminary training at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois. Prior to coming to our church, he served churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois during his education, and has served two other churches in Wisconsin.
For Pastor Dave, the priority of his ministry is to make disciples for the Lord Jesus Christ, in obedience to the Great Commission in Matthew 28. Central to discipling ministry is being rooted and grounded in the Word of God, the Bible. But preaching and teaching alone isn't enough - developing a devoted relationship with God, and encouraging compassionate relationships with God's people add to fruitfulness in life and ministry.
Pastor Dave and his wife Mary Margaret have been blessed with five adult children and ten grandchildren, and have served God together for over 37 years.
PD, as he is affectionately referred to by the church family, welcomes the opportunity to speak with you about any questions you might have about God's Word, how to have a growing relationship with the Lord, or about our church's ministry.

Affiliations
Community Baptist Church of Allenville is devoted to faithful obedience to the teaching of God's Holy Word, the Bible. We seek to apply the teaching of the Bible by together and individually loving God, loving people, and making disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, in accordance with the "Great Commandment" [Mark 12:30-33], and the Great Commission [Matthew 28:19-20].
Our church is governed by the active members of the Congregation which is tasked with discerning God's will and making decisions accordingly when it is convened in business meetings. The Congregation selects leaders for the Church from among its members, who then carry out their responsibilities in a prayerful manner seeking to be glorifying to God. Therefore, we practice the congregational form of church government, in which each local church is autonomous, having the privilege and responsibility of carrying out its ministry, answering to the Lord and Head of the Church, Jesus Christ, and not any other higher ecclesiastical body.
Yet, we recognize that we are not intended to be an entity unto ourselves, because the Bible teaches that the Church is made up of all those who know God personally through saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ [His substitutionary death on the Cross, His burial, and His Resurrection]. Therefore, we recognize our responsibility as Biblical Christians to voluntarily associate with other like-minded churches for the purpose of fellowship, resourcing, and most importantly, networking to extend the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. We as a congregation are glad to have affiliated with the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference [CCCC] for this purpose.
