"I am the way, the truth and the life; no
one comes to the Father but through Me" - John 14:6
What
We Believe
In the essential beliefs, we have unity.
In non-essential beliefs, we have
freedom.
In all beliefs, we show love.
The essentials we believe:
God
He is the
Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in
three personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These are co-equal
and one God.
Jesus Christ
He is the Son
of God. He is co-equal with God the Father, lived a sinless human
life, and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all
people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days
to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's
glory and will return again someday.
Holy Spirit
Co-equal with
God the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make men
aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian
from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for
living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what
is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift to use in service.
Bible
It is God's
Word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for
Christian beliefs and living. It is without error.
Humans
People are made
in the image of God to be like Him in Character. We are the supreme
object of God's creation. However, all people are born disobedient to
God. The Bible calls that disobedience, sin. Without salvation through
Jesus, the penalty for sin is eternal separation from God.
Salvation
It is God's
free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our
sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus
Christ as God's offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin's
penalty.
Our Vision & Our Mission
The vision of Brenham's First Baptist Church is very
simple: Love God and Love People.
Because we love God, we are here to fulfill His mission..."that through
Jesus, the world might know God."
We are on a mission to see lives changed by the power of
God. We want to see lives conformed to the image of Jesus. We want to grow
followers of Christ who...
