OUR MISSION
Adhering to the Great Commission, Wise Baptist Church exists to provide a welcoming place for worship, study, and fellowship, grounded in the Scripture andthe love of Christ, led by the Holy Spirit, reaching out to others in a unified spirit of Christ-like love, caring, compassion, comfort, and acceptance.
CHURCH COVENANT
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
The government of this Church is vested in the body of believers who compose it. It is subject to the control of no other ecclesiastical body, but it recognizes and sustains the obligations of mutual counse
and cooperation which are common among Baptist churches. It is the intent of this Church to cooperate with the Wise Baptist Association, the Baptist General Association of Virginia, and the Southern Baptist Convention.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to humanity. It is perfect, and complete, with God as its author and salvation through Jesus Christ as its end.
God
There is only one living and true God. God is infinite in holiness, all powerful and all knowing, and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savio, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
The Church
A New Testament Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ: Lord’s Supper and Baptism, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word.
The Great Commission
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations and seek to win the lost to Christ.
