WHAT WE BELIEVE

At Reynolds Baptist Church, our doors and hearts are open to everyone. You do not need to have everything figured out to be welcome here. Everything we teach flows straight from Holy Scripture, in full alignment with the foundational truths of the Baptist Faith and Message. Here is the simple message of hope that guides our church family

1. God

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

2. Revelation

God has revealed Himself to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, through the Holy Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

3. Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

4. The Fall

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

5. Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised Him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

6. The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Believers come together as a church family to grow, encourage one another, observe believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper, and share God's love with our neighbors.

7. Resurrection & The Future

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth, bringing everlasting peace, renewal, and joy to all who trust in Him.
