Beliefs
First Baptist Church is an open conservative, evangelical fellowship of believers committed to:
- The inspiration and sufficiency of the Scriptures in all matters of faith and practice.
- There in one God existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of the three members of the Godhead is co-equal and co-eternal with the other two.
- The Deity of Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for our sins on the cross, was bodily resurrected from the dead, is our great High Priest at the Father’s right hand, and will come again in God’s own time to gather His people and consummate history.
- Salvation by grace through faith apart from works of merit.
- The Church, which is the Body of Christ, composed of all who savingly believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
- Believer’s baptism by immersion and the Lord’s Supper as a memorial of Christ’s sufferings.
- The reality of heaven and hell.
