Centerville First Baptist Church

Our Beliefs:

Our God is the one true God of the Bible, who is one God in Three Persons and is most clearly revealed to us in the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ.

We Believe That The Bible (Old And New Testaments) Is The Divinely Inspired Word Of God

We believe the bible is trustworthy, authoritative and all sufficient rule of faith and practice. It is interpreted responsibly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit within the community of faith. The Bible points us to Jesus Christ and serves as our guide for living a Christ like life.

We Believe That Jesus Christ, The Son Of God, Went To The Cross For Us

We believe in the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which enables us to be forgiven of our sins and be granted eternal life in grace to all who trust Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

We Believe Our Call Is To Be A People Who Witness For Christ

We are called by Christ to go forth making disciples of all nations (Missions & Evangelism), baptizing in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

We Believe We Are A Redeemed People

We are a people who have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, follow the Lord in believer's baptism (we dedicate as babies and baptize when the individual understands the meaning of their commitment to Jesus Christ by total immersion), share in the Lord's Supper, honor the priesthood of all believers, and live a life of faith for all to see.

We believe that each church is an autonomous body, operating through democratic process under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

However, we do voluntary cooperate with and support the SBC (Southern Baptist Convention), nationally, statewide and local.
