What We Believe

What comes into our minds when we think about God
is the most important thing about us.

- A.W. Tozer

A Quick Glance

 God is bigger, better and closer than we can imagine. 

There is one God
... who is eternally Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Nothing in creation "just happens."
God made and controls it all for His glory.
God is sovereign as both Creator and Redeemer.

The Bible is God's perfect guidebook
for believing and living. It is totally true.

People are created in God's image,
both male and female.

Though beautiful, people are broken.
Though fabulous, people are fallen.
Though special, people are sinful.

Jesus was fully God and man on earth
and is the eternal Son of God.

Jesus died for sin and was raised back to life
for the salvation of those who believe.

Jesus is alive.
He is coming again to reign as King
 and to establish His kingdom.

Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in
and through Christians now.

Grace sets a relationship with God in motion.

Salvation is by grace, not works.

Faith is the only way to begin and grow
in our relationship with God.

People are saved from our sin by grace alone
through faith alone
in Christ alone
for the glory of God alone
according to Scripture alone.

Heaven and hell are real places.

Those who trust Jesus will enjoy heaven forever.
 
The church is to serve people like Jesus served people.
The church is to make disciples who make disciples.
For the joy of all peoples.


These beliefs are consistent with THE BAPTIST FAITH AND MESSAGE (2000),
our full statement of faith. That document can be found by clicking here.


We also fully adhere to and believe the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.

We are privileged to partner with First Coast Churches, the Florida Baptist Convention,  and the Southern Baptist Convention.
