WHO WE ARE
We Purpose to Worship God, Grow in Relationship with Jesus, Introduce Others to Him, & Care for Each Other, Our Community & Our World.
- The triune God, who is eternally one God in three persons (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14). This one, triune God is most clearly revealed to us in the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ our Lord (John 1:18, Hebrews 1:1-2).
- The Good News of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and salvation from sin and death for fallen humanity by grace through faith in Him (Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9).
- The Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, as the divinely inspired Word of God, the final written authority and trustworthy for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
- The sovereignty of God realized in the Lordship of Christ over all creation, and the call to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all nations in the power and Holy Spirit in anticipation of the day of Christ’s return and the making of all things new (Matthew 28:18-20).
- A common unity with believers in Christ everywhere as His one true Church, while celebrating our distinctive heritage as Baptists (Ephesians 4:4-6). These distintictives include an understanding of the local church as autonomous with regard to its government, and composed of believers who have been baptized by immersion upon credible confession of their faith. The church gathers regularly to worship, to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, to edify one another, and to reach out to the world around us (Acts 2:41-47).

MISSIONS
Our church values missions! We believe we are a part of God’s mission that was announced in the person of Jesus Christ, and so we follow God into that mission of sharing the good news and making a positive difference in the world. Nearly a quarter of all our church’s receipts are given to other mission ministries we support.
FBCL supports various ministries and missionaries across the world. We regularly support a number of missionaries through the International Ministries of ABC, as well as several special mission offerings through the year. We support institutions that include seminaries, universities, camps and retirement homes. Causes closer to home include feeding the homeless, chaplaincy programs, and resources for troubled pregnancies.
