WHAT WE BELIEVE...
"Let there be real
harmony among you so there won’t be any split in the church. I plead with you to be
of one mind, united in thought and purpose."
1
Corinthians 1:10 (LB)
The purpose of our church can be summarized in a single sentence based on two key
scriptures:
"Our purpose is to help people improve their relationship with Jesus Christ and
with one another!"
This statement is founded on the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
The Great Commandment: "Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord
your God with all your heart...soul...and mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All
the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.’" Matt. 22:36-40
The Great Commission: "Jesus said, ‘Go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you." Matt. 28:19-20
Central Baptist Exists:
- To "Love God with all your heart" is
"WORSHIP".
- To "Love your neighbor as yourself" is
"MINISTRY".
- To "Go...make disciples" is "EVANGELISM".
- To "Baptize..." is to
"INCORPORATE INTO FELLOWSHIP".
- To "Teach them...all things" is
"DISCIPLESHIP".
