First Baptist Church of Auburn

The purest expression of God this side of heaven is the incarnate Word -- Jesus Christ. The clearest revelation of God and His Son is His written Word  the Bible. Therefore, First Baptist Church is committed to :

Praising Jesus Christ
Preaching the Word
Practicing the Truth

Praising. Hebrews 1:3 declares Jesus Christ as the radiance of God's glory, the exact representation of His nature, and the One Who made purification of sins. Therefore, praising Him is at the center of all we do, every time we gather. Exalting our Lord through worshipful music, sacrificial giving, and faithful preaching is our highest expression of thanks and love towards the One who saves us.

Preaching. The focus of each worship service, Sunday School class, and Bible study is the proclamation of God's matchless Word. It alone is the source of truth concerning the character of God, the nature of man, the way to salvation, and the hope of heaven. Declaring Scripture's truth is our highest privilege as Christ's ambassadors.

Practicing. People who have been called away from the power and penalty of sin, and to serving Jesus Christ and His church, are the greatest testimony of God's work. And it is God's Word, energized by His Spirit, that accomplishes His work. Lovingly serving one another and the world around us is our highest calling in a world in need of grace
