Our Beliefs

Friendship Baptist Church is a cooperating Southern Baptist Church with the following beliefs:

There is one God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; who subsist in unity, and also as three separate distinct Persons.

Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, arose from the grave, ascended into heaven and will literally return to earth.

The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor, and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul.

The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life.

Human beings are the special creations of God, made in His image. They fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all human beings are sinners in need of salvation.

Salvation is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ’s command.

Each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

The church is a local body of baptized believers with the lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
