Statement of Faith

What Do We Believe?

1. The Word of God. We believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired word of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as revelation of God's will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

2. The Trinity. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God, sharing the same nature and attributes. (Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19)

3. God the Father. We believe in God the Father, and infinite, personal Spirit; perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (John 16:23-27; Galatians 4:4-6; Ephesians 1:3, 17-23)

4. God the Son. We believe that Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son. He is true God and true man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We also believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal visible premillennial return from heaven. (Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 24:1-8; John 4:14-16; 7:24-25; Revelation 19, 20)

5. God the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit is a person and is fully God, He regenerates, baptizes in the body of Christ, indwells every believer, guides and empowers believers, and gives gifts to all believers to be used in ministry so that the church functions properly. (Matthew 28:19; John 3:5; 16:13; Acts 1:8; 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 6:11, 19; 12:4-13; Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 3:16; 4:11-16

6. Man. We believe God created man, male and female in the image of God and free from sin. We further believe that man because of his fall in Adam, is a sinner by nature and choice and is therefore spiritually dead, in need of salvation. (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7-3:19; Romans 3:23; 5:12-21; 6:23)

7. Salvation. We believe in salvation by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. We further believe that this salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God, was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received by man through faith alone, apart from any human merit, works or ritual. Salvation results in righteous loving, good works, and proper social concern. (John 1:12; 3:3-7; 5:24; Romans 3:21-24; 5:1-2: Ephesians 2:8-10: 1 Timothy 2:5)

8. The Church. We believe that the church is the spiritual body of which Christ is the head. The true church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. This body expresses itself in local assemblies who members have been baptized upon a credible confession of faith and have associated themselves for worship, instruction, evangelism, and service. The ordinances of the local church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper. We also believe in the interdependence of local churches and the mutual submission of believers to each other in love. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 2:41-47; Ephesians 5:21; Colossians 1:18; Hebrews 10:24-25)

9. Separation of Church and State. We believe that each local church is self-governing in function and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority. We further believe that every human being is directly responsible to God in matters of faith and life, and that each should be free to worship God according to the dictates for his conscience. (Matthew 22:21: Romans 13:1; 1 Timothy 2:1-6)

10. Christian Conduct. We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in his life. The believer should live blamelessly before the world, be a faithful steward of his possessions, and seek to realize for himself the full stature of maturity in Christ. ( 1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 1:28; 1 Timothy 6:6-9; 1 Peter 1:14-15)

11. Last Things. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, the eternal conscious existence of all men either in heaven or hell, and in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments. (John 5:29; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15; 15:51-58; 2 Corinthians 5:6-10; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; 2 John 8; Revelation 19-20)

Worship
About Our Worship
Worship being such a big part of a believer's life means that His church should have worshiping the Father at the center of its heart. Each service is prayerfully planned out to lift up the Savior and draw us to the throne of God. We incorporate instruments, choirs, soloists and scripture in each service.

Opportunities
The music program teaches different aspects of music to age groups from four years old to Senior Adults. We believe that children should be taught at an early age to sing praises to God and lift Him up in song. Basic music skills are taught through children's choir and then used to present a musical gospel message.

Becoming a Member of First Baptist Church
The foundational element of our membership is that each person has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
We believe that baptism by immersion is the Biblical public confession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Then we receive people into membership by one of the following ways::
* Their profession of faith that Jesus Christ is their Lord, as it is evidenced by their obedience in baptism.
* Their statement that they have received Jesus as Lord, and have been baptized into a church of like faith and order.
* Their request that we receive a “letter” from their former church, stating that they have received the Lord and been baptized.

Receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior

Receiving the gift of salvation is the greatest thing any person can ever do.
There are three simple steps to inviting Jesus Christ into your life.
 Step #1 Admit that you are a sinner, and acknowledge that your sins have separated you from God.
Step #2 Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for your sins, and rose again,
and has the power to forgive you of your sins.
Step #3 Confess your selfishness and sinfulness to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you and come into your life.
