OUR VISION, OUR MISSION, OUR CALLING

Our mission at Little Bethany Missionary Baptist Church is to spread the gospel to those who are unsaved, whether they be near or far. We are called to nurture each other in faith, service, and Christian education. Thereby, encouraging one another to continue in the faith, knowing that God has all power in His hands and He will do as He has promised.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

At the heart of everything we do,  as devoted members of Little Bethany Missionary Baptist Church, we believe that prayer is the key to heaven, but faith unlocks the door. At the core of our beliefs are the Articles of Faith. Listed below is a summary of the articles. For more detailed information please go to Christian Education

The Articles of Faith

I. The Scriptures

We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired. 

II. The True God

We believe the Scriptures teach that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is Jehovah.

III. The Fall of Man

We believe the Scriptures teach that Man was created in holiness, under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgressions fell from that holy and happy state.

IV. The Way of Salvation

We believe that the Scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace.

V. Justification

We believe the Scriptures teach that the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in him is justification.  

VI. The Freeness of Salvation

We believe that the Scriptures teach that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel.

VII. Regeneration

We believe that the Scriptures teach that in order to be saved, sinners must be regenerated, or born again.

VIII. Repentance and Faith

We believe the Scriptures teach that repentance and faith are sacred duties, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the regenerating Spirit of God.     

IX. God's Purpose of Grace

We believe the Scriptures teach that election is the eternal purpose of God, according to which he graciously regenerates, sanctifies and saves sinners.

X. Sanctification

We believe the Scriptures teach that Sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of his holiness.

XI. Perseverance of the Saints

We believe the Scriptures teach that such only are real believers as endure to the end.

XII. The Law and Gospel

We believe the Scriptures teach that the Law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government; that it is holy, just and good.

XIII. A Gospel Church

We believe the Scriptures teach that a visible church of Christ is a congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the Gospel. 

XIV. Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe the Scriptures teach that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of a believer, into the name of the Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost.

XV. The Christian Sabbath

We believe the Scriptures teach that the first day of the week is the Lord's Day, or Christian Sabbath,

XVI. Civil Government

We believe the Scriptures teach that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interest and good order of human society; 

XVII. Righteous and Wicked

We believe the Scriptures teach that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked.

XVIII. The World to Come

We believe the Scriptures teach that the end of the world is approaching; that at the last day, Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave for final retribution.
