First Baptist Church Of Fort Oglethorpe

Statement of Faith
We believe in the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things. He is the Head of His church. We believe in the empowering and enabling of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the authority and integrity of the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all that we do as a congregation. We believe that in Christ "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal.3:28

We believe in the importance of unceasing prayer, and that both the individual and the congregation is called of God to a life of prayer.

We believe in reverent and joyous worship that exalts God, celebrates being the people of God, and seeks the face of God.

We believe in unity through diversity as a church body, affirming and respecting the uniqueness of each person under God, while always working toward the unity of the Spirit in all matters.

We believe that our church is called to be on a mission outward to meet the needs of persons in our local community, our region, and throughout the world, as we partner with all those we might to accomplish that mission.

We believe in a church membership of persons who have been born again through faith in Jesus Christ and who demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit in fellowship and ministry together.

We believe that we are stewards, not owners, of all that we possess and that God magnifies our time, talents, and resources as we offer them to Him in the service of His kingdom.
