Henryetta First Baptist Church

About Henryetta First Baptist Church

The Scriptures
The Holy Bible is divinely inspired, revealing God’s will and instruction to humanity. As God’s perfect word, it contains truth without error and remains the ultimate authority for faith, conduct, and unity among Christians. All Scripture points to Christ as the centerpiece of divine revelation.

God
There is one true and living God, who is eternal and triune—revealing Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• God the Father: He reigns with providential care over creation and human history, guiding all things according to His grace. He is Father to those who become His children through faith in Jesus Christ.
• God the Son: Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was born of the virgin Mary and lived a life of perfect obedience. His death on the cross provided redemption for humanity.
• God the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, empowers believers, and exalts Christ through worship, service, and evangelism.

Salvation and the Church
Salvation is freely offered to all through faith in Jesus Christ, involving regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. The church is a local body of baptized believers united by faith and committed to Christ’s mission. It observes baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and each member is accountable to Christ.

Christian Living
Believers are called to reflect Christ in their daily lives, sharing the gospel, opposing sin, and serving others with love and integrity. Christians should work to uphold the sanctity of life, care for the vulnerable, and promote justice and righteousness.

Family
The family, established by God, is the foundation of society. Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman, and parents are tasked with teaching children God’s truth and serving as examples of His love.
