Our Unwavering Faith
At First Baptist Church Poteet, we are deeply committed to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the whole counsel of God. The Bible stands as our first and final authority for all we practice and all we believe. We strive to cultivate a loving family environment that fosters spiritual development and genuine connection among our members. Fellowship is indispensable in our journey with Christ, and we offer a range of opportunities for engagement in worship, study, and service. From Sunday school and Wednesday evening studies to the observance of baptism and the Lord's Table, we encourage all members to actively participate and enrich their faith in a nurturing community.
Jesus: the Way, the Truth, the Life
We firmly believe in the profound truth spoken by Jesus in John 14:6 (KJV) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This verse encapsulates the foundational principle of our faith – that salvation and a relationship with God are found exclusively through Jesus Christ. He is our singular path to redemption and eternal life, guiding us to the Father.
The Doctrines of Grace
Understanding the doctrines of grace is central to comprehending God's magnificent redemptive plan for the salvation of sinners. We teach that salvation is entirely God's work, from His sovereign choice to His transformative power in our lives. This truth fills us with humility and gratitude, recognizing His unmerited favor and boundless love in saving us.
Saved by Grace through Faith
For those new to faith or to First Baptist Church Poteet, we want to make one truth crystal clear: salvation is a gift. As Ephesians 2:8-9 states, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." You are saved not by your own efforts, but by God's amazing grace received through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
Experience our worship
After learning about our core beliefs, the ideal next step is to experience our vibrant community firsthand. Come and join us on a Sunday for a wonderful time of worship of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We believe you'll find a welcoming family and a powerful encounter with God's word at First Baptist Church Poteet.
