Nations Baptist Church Purpose Statement
Nations Baptist Church exists to demonstrate God’s love by valuing people and bringing them into relationship with Jesus so that every Believer can find FREEDOM in Christ, STRENGTH through the power of the Holy Spirit and the fulfillment of their God-given PURPOSE for the Glory of God among the Nations.
Our teaching and specific beliefs are based in the fundamental truth of a restored relationship with our Creator through the life, sacrificial death, and bodily resurrection of God’s son, Jesus of Nazareth; in other words, all of the broken relationships (with God, others, and nature) are healed through Christ.
