OUR MISSION

First Baptist Hurst exists to guide all generations to know and follow Christ.

OUR BELIEFS

  • God: There is only one true living God, who eternally exists as three Persons…Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1)
  • Scripture: The Bible is God’s perfect, trustworthy, inspired and infallible Word, which conveys His love, plan and expectations for each person. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  • Man: Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image to glorify God in all things. (Genesis 1:26-31) 
  • Sin: The world is fallen, and all humanity is separated from God because of sin. (Genesis 3:1-24; Romans 3:23)
  • Jesus: Jesus Christ is the virgin born Son of God, fully God and fully man, absolutely perfect. (Matthew 1:18-25) Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead, appeared to many, and ascended to heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)
  • The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, seals at conversion, gifts, guides, and empowers the believer and the church (John 16:5-15; Ephesians 1:13; Acts 1:8).
  • Salvation: Salvation is a free gift of God made available to all whom place faith in Jesus Christ. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Ephesians 2:8-9) All people who place faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity with God in His Kingdom, and all people who do not place faith in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in hell. (Matthew 25:1-46, John 5:24, Revelation 20:11-15)
  • The Church: The Church is the bride of Christ (made up of baptized believers in Him) whose function is to glorify God by building up one another and fulfilling the mission of God in the world by being light in the darkness. (Acts 2:42, Matthew 28:19-20)
  • Baptism: Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, symbolizing the believer's faith in the Savior. (Acts 2:36-41, Romans 6:4)
  • The Lord's Supper: The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. (1 Corinthians 11:23-29)
  • Jesus' Second Coming: Christ is returning soon; each person will be held accountable and therefore should be ready for His arrival.  (Matthew 24:1-51, 25:1-46)
