Denomination: Baptist
Vision, Purpose, & Beliefs
God created the world. We, His creatures, rebelled. But God, in unfathomable grace, sent His Son Jesus as the sacrifice for our sins.
Through faith in Jesus Christ, we have been forgiven of our sins, welcomed as sons and daughters, and empowered by His Spirit to live lives that reflect His goodness and love. This is the gospel. This is our core passion, and the source from which all of our other desires and ministries flow.
You cannot even begin to bridge the gap between the perfect, holy God and your sinful heart except by trusting in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The gospel is the means of our entry into the family of God and the means for our continued growth together in this family.
First Baptist’s vision is to see the gospel transform everything — our selves, our families, our church, our city and our world. From this vision flows our purpose: to be agents of gospel change and transformation in Elizabethton, Carter County and beyond.
