Mission Statement
The mission of the people of God called
Original Free Will Baptists
is to glorify God, therefore, we strive to know Christ, build His Church
and make Him known to all people as we continue to seek His will.
We believe this mission can be fulfilled through…
Free Will Baptist Church Covenant
Having given ourselves to God, by faith
in Christ, and adopted the word of God as our rule of faith and practice,
we now give ourselves to one another by the will of God in this solemn covenant.
We promise by His grace to love
and obey Him in all things, to avoid all appearance of evil, to abstain from
all sinful amusements and unholy
conformity to the world, from all sanction of the use and sale of intoxicating
beverages, the abuse of drugs, and to
“provide things honest in the sight of all men.” We agree faithfully to discharge
our obligations in reference to the
study of the Scriptures, sacred prayer, family devotions, and public worship
and by self-denial, faith, and good works
endeavor to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ.” We will not forsake the assembling
of ourselves together for church conferences, public worship, and the observance
of the ordinances of the Gospel; nor fail
to give according to our ability for the support of the church and all its
benevolent work. We agree to accept Christian
admonition and reproof with meekness, and to watch over one another in love,
endeavoring to “keep the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace,” to be careful of one another’s happiness and
reputation, and seek to strengthen the weak,
encourage the afflicted, admonish the erring, and as far as we are able promote
the success of the church and of the Gospel.
We will everywhere hold Christian principles and obligations supreme, esteem
it our chief business to make Christ known to
the world, and constantly pray and toil that the Kingdom of God may come,
and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
To this end we agree to co-operate in the promotion of denominational institutions
and enterprises, the support the work of the
local church and the evangelization of the world. May the God of peace sanctify
us wholly, and preserve us blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
