About First Baptist Church

Affiliation

We are an autonomous, self-governing, self-supporting church. Because we believe in accountability and in being part of the bigger picture of what God is doing in our world, we are in fellowship with the American Baptist Churches in the Rocky Mountain region.

Authority

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God in the original texts and is the final authority on all matters pertaining to life, godliness, and salvation. We acknowledge that many things are subject to interpretation. The core beliefs we hold are below..

Community

We believe church is a community of people who have put their trust in Jesus Christ and are on a journey together. As a community, we love each other, care for one another, encourage each other, and  - just have a lot of fun. You are welcome!

Core Beliefs

  • God is eternal, without beginning or end. The three Persons of the God, Father, Word, and Holy Spirit are one God, yet distinct in person and role in the Trinity.
  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the incarnate Word who was born of a virgin, suffered and died on the cross for our sins, and rose again. He is coming soon to establish His kingdom on the earth.
  • Salvation is God's gift to those who place their faith in Christ and surrender their lives to Him. Salvation cannot be earned, bought, or inherited. It is a gift.
  • The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and is the all-sufficient rule and final authority on all matters spiritual and temporal.

Other Things Important to Us

  • The local church is the fundamental unit of mission.
  • The call to evangelism and missions in world is the responsibility of the local church.
  • We support religious freedom and respect the expressions of faith of others.
  • We acknowledge that God’s family extends beyond the local church, and that God calls us to cooperative ministries.
  • We serve as Christ’s witnesses for justice and wholeness.
  • Celebrate the racial, cultural, and theological diversity witnessed within our fellowship.
  • Heed the biblical call to renewal and witness.
