FSBC Core Values:

SCRIPTURE (2 Timothy 3:16)

We affirm the full inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of Scripture. We affirm that the Word of God is the supreme authority for the church and the life of every believer. We acknowledge that the Scripture is sufficient and effective for all matters of life and godliness, including equipping the saints for spiritual growth and ministry.

CHRIST (John 3:16; 14:6)

We affirm that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God and the Savior of those who repent of sin and place their faith in Him for salvation.

SUPREMACY of GOD (Isaiah 6)

  • We affirm a high view of God in proclaiming a God-exalting theology, God-centered worldview, and a God-glorifying approach to life and ministry.

PRAYER (Matthew 21:13)

We affirm and value the corporate and individual nature of prayer.

BIBLE TEACHING (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Tim. 4:2)

We affirm and value teaching people the Bible through Sunday School/Bible Fellowship and Spirit-anointed, text-driven preaching.

GOD-GLORIFYING WORSHIP (Psalm 98:4-6)

 We strive to cultivate a God-centered worship experience, which produces reverence of God and great joy.

MINISTRY & SERVICE (1 Cor. 12:7)

We encourage the development of passion, experience, skills, talents, and spiritual gifts of all believers for the building up of the church and bringing glory to God.

EXEMPLARY COMMITMENT (Hebrews 10:25; 1 Peter 4:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10; John 1:40-42)

We stress the commitment of members to attend, serve, give, pray, and invite.

EVANGELISM/DISCIPLESHIP (Matthew 28:19-20)

We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and call for a decisive break from sin and a full surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ, inevitably leading to a transformed life. We encourage all who follow Christ to follow Him in evident, lifestyle discipleship. We affirm that our salvation and biblically informed theology should impact how we live.
