About Us:


The Holy Bible states that the church is the Body of Christ and that Christ is the Head. This being so, then the church exists to implement the will of Christ Jesus. We interpret Christ's will for His body (with the aid of the blessed Holy Spirit) as we read of His life and ministry in the Bible.

We see clearly that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. We assume this as our primary and undergirding purpose in all of our activities and organizations.

We see where Jesus taught and trained His followers. We commit ourselves to this same task.

When Jesus had finished His work of redemption, teaching and training, He ascended into heaven and left His followers with the commission to take the gospel to the entire world. We accept this responsibility also and commit ourselves to cooperating with the Southern Baptist Convention and all of it's organizations in the fulfilling of this commision.

We adopt this statement and purpose because of our felt stewardship of the countless blessings of God upon us, and our desire to be obedient to Him.

These truths we believe:


1. The Bible is the authoritative, inerrant and infallible revelation of Got to man and our only guide for faith and doctrine.
(Romans 15:4, 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)

2. The Godhead is a Trinity consisting of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit existing in complete unity. (1 Corinthians 8:6, Romans 8:9)

3. Salvation is accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This salvation and eternal life is available through the grace of God, apart from works, to anyone who places their faith in Him as Lord and Savior. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9,10, Ephesians 2:8,9)

4. A true believer is secure in Christ forever and is called to live a holy life serving the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:10,4:30, 1 Peter 1:15,16)

5. The church is the body of Christ whose mission is to preach the gospel to all the world and the ordinances of the church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's supper. (Matthew 28:19,20, 1 Corinthians 11:18-21, Romans 6:3,4)

If God is leading you to place your membership here at First Baptist Church, we receive members by the following:

1. Baptism by immersion following your public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

2. Transfer of membership from another Baptist church.

3. Your statement of faith that you have received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and have been baptized by immersion in a church of like faith and practice.

4. Baptism if your membership is in another denomination that does not practice scriptural baptism by immersion.
