A Message From Our Pastor
Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Fuquay-Varina website. I am delighted that you decided to visit us online. I hope that you will come to visit our church soon. This is an exciting time in the life of First Baptist. We look forward to God doing greater things for us in the days to come. (continued)
I would like to share with you some points of reference that we as a church believe in:
We believe wholeheartedly that having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is of utmost importance in experiencing life to the full (John 10:10 NIV).
- We aspire to promote the love of God in our midst while committed to kingdom building for God through Jesus Christ.
- We further endeavor to promote individual and family spiritual development through teaching the principles of the Bible, foster and build wholesome relationships among believers, enhance fellowship, fun, and the sharing of our faith in Christ.
- We believe that evangelizing the world for Christ as He has commissioned us in Matthew 28 is a top priority in winning souls to the Lord.
- And at First Baptist, we believe that the proclamation of the inerrant, infallible, uncompromising Word of God will transform lives for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our membership is growing at a steady pace. With this growth, we have been able to accomplish more, and have a larger impact upon our community. We welcome you with open arms. Please inquire today about how you can become a cherished part of our faith-based family.
I invite you to come and worship with us. I also encourage you to remember that God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him.
Your brother in Christ,
