"The Bible says the Lord said, 'If I've washed your feet, you aught also to wash one another's.'" "Most Primitive Baptists do it, but not all," Owens said of foot washing. Pine Hill believes in the ordinances of baptism, communion and foot washing. At Pine Hill, there are 17 principles declaring a belief in "one true and living God: the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" and attesting to belief in doctrines, including those of predestination, unconditional election and original sin. Elder Darren Owens, Pine Hill's pastor of 19 years, explained that most Primitive Baptist churches have a list of guiding principles adopted by each church. To the left of the door is a bulletin board with an "Abstract of Principles" posted.
When members step through the double glass doors adorned with white crosses, they pass through a foyer with wooden floors and walls into the sanctuary - a room where rows of wooden pews face a lectern and lines of chandeliers hang from the ceiling.
