Rhode Island Genesis Church, 63 Sandy Bottom Rd, Coventry, RI 02816, US

Knotty Oak Baptist Church, founded 1840, follows and teaches the historic doctrines of Baptist tradition known as "fundamental and independent." The church, an Independent Baptist Church incorporated under Rhode Island state law, seeks to glorify God in all that it does, according to its website. The philosophy influences the church by-laws, corporate worship, various ministries, social activities, teaching programs, church ordinances, and property maintenance. Everything worshipers do is with the glory of God in mind, with a focus on evangelism and discipleship. Pastor and parish are informal, yet reverent in their worship. The church maintains a regularly updated website, which includes mp3 files of recent sermons. The church members are also very active, with a calendar full of daily events, including men's and women's bible study, prayer meetings and choir. The church also runs ministries, including a prison ministry and home visitation. The historic, original church building now serves as storage and office space - worshipers have since expanded to an adjacent property and converted an existing building, an old gym, into a worship space capable of accomodating the growing congregation.
