Who We Are

Jesus Christ invited all who will put their trust in Him and His finished work on the cross to come and receive forgiveness and new life in Him.  First Baptist of Elimsport is simply a group of people who have done just that and have joined together to grow in Christ and serve Him.

What We Believe

All people need to have a personal relationship with God.  You see, about 2,000 years ago God took on the form of a man so that He could make a way for the human race to have a relationship with Him.  John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."  

Jesus lived as a man for thirty years, yet because He was God, He never sinned. He was unjustly accused of wrong-doing and willingly died on a Roman cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all people, because as it says in Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Three days after His crucifixion, because death and sin could not conquer Him, Christ rose from the dead and ascended victorious to His home in heaven. He will return to earth some day to judge sin, but is waiting for more people to trust in Him and accept the gift of forgiveness He bought on that cross.  Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
