We’re Centered on the Truth of God’s Word and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and preserved Word of God. Scripture was given by God and is completely trustworthy and true in all that it teaches. The Bible serves as the foundation for our faith, our doctrine, and the way we live our daily lives. We believe it is the final authority in all matters concerning truth, salvation, and Christian living.
God
We believe there is one true and living God who eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are equal in power, glory, and holiness, yet are one God. God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, perfect in love, mercy, justice, and truth, and worthy of all worship and praise.
Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who came to earth through the virgin birth. He lived a sinless life, performed mighty works, and revealed the love and truth of God to the world. Jesus willingly died on the cross for the sins of mankind, was buried, and rose again bodily from the grave on the third day. We believe He ascended into Heaven, reigns today at the right hand of the Father, and will one day return again in power and glory.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a free gift of God’s grace received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. No amount of good works, religious effort, or personal merit can earn salvation. Every person is a sinner in need of forgiveness and must personally repent and place their faith in Christ to receive eternal life. Through salvation, believers are forgiven, made new in Christ, and given the assurance of Heaven.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively works in the lives of believers. He convicts the world of sin, draws people to Christ, and indwells every believer at salvation. The Holy Spirit provides guidance, comfort, wisdom, conviction, and spiritual strength, helping Christians grow in their faith and live lives that honor God.
The Church
We believe the church is the body of Christ made up of all believers who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior. The local church exists to worship God, preach and teach His Word, encourage believers, serve others, and share the Gospel with the world. We believe the church should be a place of genuine fellowship, spiritual growth, prayer, discipleship, and Christ-centered love.
Baptism & The Lord’s Supper
We believe baptism by immersion is an outward expression of an inward transformation that takes place through salvation in Jesus Christ. Baptism does not save, but it is a step of obedience and a public testimony of faith in Christ. We also believe the Lord’s Supper is a meaningful remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross and a time for believers to reflect on His grace, love, and redemption.
Eternity
We believe every person will spend eternity either in Heaven or separated from God. Those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior will experience eternal life in Heaven with Him. Those who reject Christ will remain eternally separated from God. We believe Heaven is a place of everlasting joy and peace in the presence of God, prepared for all who belong to Him.
Our Mission
At Fellowship Baptist Church, our mission is to glorify God by faithfully preaching His Word, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and helping people grow in their relationship with Him. We desire to be a church where people can find hope, truth, encouragement, and genuine fellowship. Our prayer is to love God wholeheartedly, love people compassionately, and reach our community and the world with the message of Christ.
