The purest
expression of God this side of heaven is the incarnate Word
-- Jesus Christ. The clearest revelation of God and His Son
is His written Word -- the Bible. Therefore, First Baptist
Church is committed to
- Praising Jesus Christ
- Preaching the Word
- Practicing the Truth
Praising. Hebrews
1:3 declares Jesus Christ as the radiance of God's glory,
the exact representation of His nature, and the One Who made
purification of sins. Therefore, praising Him is at the center
of all we do, every time we gather. Exalting our Lord through
worshipful music, sacrificial giving, and faithful preaching
is our highest expression of thanks and love towards the One
who saves us.
Preaching.
The focus of each worship service, Sunday School class, and
Bible study is the proclamation of God's matchless Word. It
alone is the source of truth concerning the character of God,
the nature of man, the way to salvation, and the hope of heaven.
Declaring Scripture's truth is our highest privilege as Christ's
ambassadors.
Practicing.
People who have been called away from the power and penalty
of sin, and to serving Jesus Christ and His church, are the
greatest testimony of God's work. And it is God's Word, energized
by His Spirit, that accomplishes His work. Lovingly serving
one another and the world around us is our highest calling
in a world in need of grace.
