What We Believe
First Baptist Church is affiliated with the Clarke County Baptist Association, the Mississippi Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention.
Like most Southern Baptist churches, we stand strongly with the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 which affirms the Bible as the infallible word of God, Jesus as God’s son (fully God and fully man), the Holy Spirit as the third part of the Trinity and the agent of peace, comfort and conviction, Sin as the condition of every person separating us from God, Jesus’ work on the cross as the only atonement for sin and the only means of salvation, and the promised literal return of Jesus for His church.
There are many other points in the Baptist Faith & Message.
We would be happy to provide you with a copy if you would like to look further into what we believe.
