First Baptist Church of Deer Park

1205 East Crawford Street
509-844-5692

Mission: 

The Holy Bible states that the church is the Body of Christ and that Christ is the Head. This being so, then the church exists to implement the will of Christ Jesus. We interpret Christ's will for His body (with the aid of the blessed Holy Spirit) as we read of His life and ministry in the Bible. 

We see clearly that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. We assume this as our primary and under girding purpose in all of our activities and organizations. 

We see where Jesus taught and trained His followers. We commit ourselves to this same task. 

When Jesus had finished His work of redemption, teaching and training, He ascended into heaven and left His followers with the commission to take the gospel to the entire world. We accept this responsibility also and commit ourselves to cooperating with the Southern Baptist Convention and all of it's organizations in the fulfilling of this commission. 

We adopt this statement and purpose because of our felt stewardship of the countless blessings of God upon us, and our desire to be obedient to Him. 

We Believe: 

The Bible is the authoritative, inerrant and infallible revelation of Got to man and our only guide for faith and doctrine. 

The Godhead is a Trinity consisting of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit existing in complete unity. 

Salvation is accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This salvation and eternal life is available through the grace of God, apart from works, to anyone who places their faith in Him as Lord and Savior. 

A true believer is secure in Christ forever and is called to live a holy life serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

The church is the body of Christ whose mission is to preach the gospel to all the world and the ordinances of the church are believer's baptism by immersion and the Lord's supper.
