First Baptist Church Of Dumas

Our Mission Statement describes why we exist:
Our purpose is that people will be saved, healed, and devoted to Christ as we ...
evangelize our world
build strong disciples
minister to people's needs
fellowship with joy
and worship with enthusiasm.
We also have eight CORE VALUES which shape our vision and guide our ministry:

The Lordship of Christ
We believe that Jesus is the Head of our church, and we seek His will, submit to His leading, and have faith in His enabling power in all things.

The Need for Godly Leaders
We believe that the vision and vitality of the church calls for both staff and lay leaders to be Spirit-filled, righteous, and driven by a sense of Divine call.

Prayer
We believe that through sincere, fervent, and persevering prayer in Jesus' name, nothing shall be impossible that is according to God's will.

Evangelism
We believe that every church member is responsible to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people around us so that they may turn from sin to salvation.

Ministry
We believe Jesus calls us to reveal His compassion by meeting the critical needs of people in our church and community.

Worship
We believe that joy, vision, hope, and power from the Holy Spirit are experienced and renewed in vibrant personal and congregational worship.

Bible-centered Preaching and Teaching
We believe that, as God's primary source of revelation to us, the Bible must be at the center of our Christian education and preaching experiences.

Family
We believe that we must provide training, enrichment, and renewal for the family, addressing the needs of all age groups and including singles, divorced, and blended families.
