What We Believe
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God.
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth.
We agree to the Baptist Faith and Message, 2000 of the SBC.
Our Mission
Our mission at Bethel Baptist Church is to CONNECT with God and build relationship with others, leading ourselves and others to LOVE the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, and minds, and love our neighbors as ourselves. We become DISCIPLES of Christ who make disciples by baptizing them and teaching them to obey all that He has commanded. We prepare others to use their gifts to SERVE the community and the Lord faithfully in order to be Great Commission Christians in a Great Commission Church.
Our Core Values
We accomplish this by remaining Biblically Faithful, Passionate about Worship, Spiritually Growing, Discipling the Next Generation, and Committed to the Uncommitted. We encourage everyone to be involved in Prayer and Bible Study Groups and Ministry Teams.
