About Us
A Place of Safety, Rest & Resupply
We are a small local church in Marietta Ohio, looking to see souls won to the Lord. We welcome anyone to come to our services, and look forward to having new faces in our congregation. Make a change in 2024 and come see what the Lord has in store for you!
Pastor Don Arbuckle shows what the Bible tells us we should do to better serve the Lord, and what He has done for us. We enjoy fellowshipping with each other, and incorporating fun activities for both adults and children.

This is an exciting time for our church. We hope you will regularly visit our website as we add programs and people to this young ministry. If you are looking for a church that cares about you and your family, we would love to have you visit with us. If there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to worshipping together with you!
What We Believe
We accept the Bible as the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ; and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, pre-tribulational, pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
We believe in the pre-tribulational rapture of the church. We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell, and that Satan is a person. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. We believe in the autonomy of the local church, in baptism by immersion, and in the celebration of the Lord's Supper by all obedient believers.
We are a fundamental, separated, missionary-minded group of Bible-believing Christians, striving to maintain a balanced, Spirit-filled life.
Background
HarborSite Baptist Church began in January of 2009. The name HarborSite was chosen because it encapsulates in one word what a church should be. A HarborSite is a military reconnaissance term for a predesignated place in enemy territory where distressed soldiers can go to find safety, rest, and resupply. The church should be a place where people can come to find rest for their soul, safety from the petty strife which exists in too many churches, and be supplied with sound Bible Doctrine and be redeployed to "fight the good fight of faith."
