Mission Statement

The members of First Baptist Church of Georgetown, without reservation, accept Jesus Christ
and His word, as their Guide, and have covenanted to obey His teachings for the sake of
corporate unity. The object of First Baptist is to proclaim Christ, and to teach and practice
Christianity as reflected in the New Testament. The members aim to witness for Christ in word
and deed, and to promote orderly and godly living. We realize that to evangelize in this age of
transition, we must evangelize in ways that support our mutual vision; to bring all people to
know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Authentic evangelism presupposes that Christians are disciples
who follow Christ with persistence in spite of cost. We engage in activities that promote health
and well-being of the congregation. We believe that an evangelistic congregation will announce
and share the Good News of God in Christ; to seek to demonstrate God's rule of love and justice;
call individuals to repentance, to confession, and to conversion in the new life in Christ. First
Baptist aims to advance the cork of Christian missions locally and abroad through various
channels and denominational structures that espouse our objectives. Being Christ-oriented
and cause-centered, we will develop creative programs and activities that demonstrate the
Gospel by subscribing to the Church covenant. We will contribute cheerfully and regularly
as God has prospered us, towards its expenses, for the support of an evangelistic ministry
among us, for the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout our community
and world.
