Here at the First Missionary Baptist Church we believe that the bible is the inspired word of God and we use the word for all faith, practice and final rule of authority. The word of God is his revelation to all mankind that he desires a personal relationship with each and everyone of us. This relationship can come by asking for forgiveness of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, as your Lord and Savior. The bible reveals to us that after you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior your next step is to be completely immersed in water or baptized and be part of the local, visible New Testament Church. The church was established by our Lord while he was on his personal earthly ministry. While he was here he taught and led the church in all doctrine and practice.
