At First Baptist Church, we want to encourage you to know Christ, grow in Christ, and go for Christ.
The Church is not a building, but a family of born-again believers who commit to loving one another by gathering together regularly for worship and running alongside one another as we know, grow, and go in Christ. We, at FBC, have been a church who loves and lives out the gospel since 1892.

What We Believe
The focus and goal of our faith is the Lord Jesus Christ. We rejoice in the common bond we share with “all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:2). We are a church united by shared convictions, expressed in our confessional statement and characterized by a historic, evangelical, and Baptist theology.
We believe that the authors of the Bible, not the readers, determine the meaning of it. Therefore, on matters of doctrine, we seek to understand the original intent of the Scriptures from the original authors. Our statement of faith is not an exhaustive explanation of our beliefs, but it highlights and summarizes beliefs we deem as essential to membership of this local body and faithfulness to our Lord. We hold this statement of faith to be authoritative for matters pertaining to church practice. We affirm the The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as a faithful affirmation of basic Christian beliefs.

We happily cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention, N.C. Baptists, and the Mt. Zion Baptist Association to advance Christ's Kingdom, evangelize the lost, and strengthen and plant churches.
Church Covenant
We believe that the church is more than just a building; it's a family of born-again, baptized believers united in our love for Christ and one another. Our love for Christ moves us to grow together as disciples of Jesus. Our church covenant expresses our desire and gives us a framework to grow together, support one another, and pursue Christ as members of First Baptist Church.

Leadership
We're a family of believers seeking to be Christ-centered and biblically faithful. Because of this, we want to organize our church according to what we see laid out in Scripture. This means that we are 1) led by a team of pastors, 2) served by a team of deacons, and 3) empowered by an active congregation who is using its gifts to build up the church and further its mission.
