What We Believe

In our church Constitution, we affirm the Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God, which is the basis for our beliefs. We subscribe to the doctrinal statement described in the Baptist Faith and Message (http://www.sbc.net/bfm/bfm2000.asp) as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention. We voluntarily bind ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the Good News of salvation to lost mankind. Our church By-Laws (link to file) describe how our church is organized and how it functions, including how one becomes a member, a description of the principle positions in the church, and a summary of the many opportunities of service.

Our Purpose is to Glorify God by:

Worshiping God wholeheartedly,Expressing Christian love freely,Ministering to needs practically,Sharing the Gospel effectively, andDeveloping disciples intentionally.

The Direction of Emmanuel Baptist Church is to boldly:

Exalt the Savior,Evangelize the sinner, andEquip the saved for life and service.
