Alexandria Baptist Church – Core Values
-
We Worship the One True God. We believe in the God of the Bible, who exists eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that since the fall of Adam, all men are dead in their sin and are separated eternally from God, and that the only salvation for man exists in the perfect life, sacrificial death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is no salvation by any other way, except by the shed blood of Christ. Our desire as a church is to be faithfully doing the work that God asks us to do until Jesus returns.
-
The Power, Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture. We believe that the Bible is God’s holy, inerrant and complete Word to man. All scripture is God-Breathed and is to be diligently studied, preached and taught for the salvation of all that would hear, for the edification and spiritual growth of its members, for instruction in righteous living, and for wisdom and truth to be light to a lost world. The Gospel message is powerful to save the lost and to transform the lives of believers.
-
We are a Church Family. We are a close-knit family of believers who love one another with the love of Christ. Even though we are a small congregation with close ties to one another, we have open doors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We value the fellowship of believers, and show it by sincerity, friendship and caring for one another. We have many multi-generational families in our congregation, and we nurture and support the family in our ministry.
-
Ministry and Mission. Our desire is to minister to every member of our church family, and then to our neighbors both far and near. We invest much prayer, money, time and energy into Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, a Preschool, Youth Groups for ages K-12, camps, and other youth ministries. We also minister to others with Adult Educational Seminars, local mission/service projects, our Puppet Ministry, nursing home services, and our support of local and worldwide missions.
-
We created to Worship. We believe that worship is the response of a grateful people to the ever-growing realization of the Almighty God that we serve.
