ABOUT US : Statement of Faith

First Baptist Church subscribes, in principle, to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963, while holding firm to the traditional Baptist beliefs of:

• Autonomy of the local church,
• The soul’s competency before God,
• Freedom of religion and religious thought,
• The priesthood of the Believer

We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired word of God, and that His Son and our Lord and Savior Jesus is the standard by which the Bible is to be interpreted.  We voluntarily unite together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, certain of the Christian hope that those who place their trust and obedience in our Lord Jesus Christ will reign with Him for ever and ever, and are committed to sharing this good news of salvation with lost humanity.  The ordinances of this church are believer’s Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
