Convictions

We invite you to explore our convictions, which explain how we live out our mission!

  • Teaching

    We teach the whole truth of scripture in a biblically sound and biblically serious way. We believe to be transformed by God’s Word. (Titus 2:1, 2 Timothy 4:1-5)



  • Living

    We live in genuine gospel community marked by followers of Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit. We believe this happens best around our dinner tables and living rooms. (Romans 15:7, Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 5:11)

  • Praying

    We pray faithfully knowing God can empower, heal, and guide. We believe prayer is the driving force of our mission. (Eph. 6:18, James 5:13-16, 1 John 5:14)

  • Giving

    We give sacrificially and generously with our time, money, and resources to reach those who have not heard the gospel. We believe this is modeled for us in God giving His Son, Jesus. (Matt 6:21, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7)

  • Sharing

    We share the gospel boldly with our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. We believe in passionate proclamation of the gospel. (Luke 10:2, Acts 1:8, Romans 10:13-15)

  • Sending

    We send our own to further the reach of the gospel in our community and to the nations. We believe in getting the gospel to those who have never heard. (Psalm 96, John 20:21, Acts 13:2, Romans 15:18-21)

  • Serving

    We serve using our God-given gifts and talents to build and edify the church. We believe we were made for one another. (Matthew 25:14-30, 1 Corinthians 14:12, Ephesians 4:11-13)

  • Cultivating

    We cultivate an environment of care and discipleship. We believe in equipping and empowering people to the work of ministry. (Matthew 28:19, John 13:14-17, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Ephesians 4:11-13, 2 Timothy 2:1-3)

  • Celebrating

    We celebrate what God celebrates! We believe in joyful expression in worship, baptism, communion, and response. (Psalm 47:1, 100:1-2, Luke 15:7, Romans 6:4)

Beliefs

We hold to the essential Christian beliefs as best expressed in the Baptist Faith and Message (2000).


We believe that there is massive opportunity for Church planting to spread throughout the panhandle. We want to join what God is doing in the panhandle and plant churches in rural towns all throughout northwest Florida, and ultimately to unreached people groups around the world.
