Statement of Faith 

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the basis for any statement of faith. The church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of the “Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963. We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind, worshipping Him in truth, and equipping all to serve Him in joy and thought. The ordinances of the church are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Mission Statement

First Baptist of Atwater is about joining God on a daily basis, with our lives, alongside one another in His work of building His Kingdom here.
