Where as the church today lives in a non- Christian world; and whereas Christians today find themselves living as resident aliens in this world, having our citizenship in heaven, but fighting a war against Satan and his army here on earth; We the members of the First Baptist Church of Grayson, GA hereby declare our purpose and mission to be:
obedience to Christ's command of the Great Commission through the personal involvement of God's people in the whole person.
to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of persons who are currently without a daily experience with Christ.
Thus the First Baptist Church of Grayson, with the leadership of the Holy Spirit, will strive to create disciples who live by the Sermon on the Mount, who love others as Christ loves them, who are compelled by His love, who deny themselves and bear their crosses daily;
Whereby the church becomes Christ's instrument of redemption and the bridge where scripture and people meet.
