Mission & Beliefs

Go therefore and make disciples...

The Mission

Our mission at Gilliam Springs Baptist Church is to glorify God by introducing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to as many people as possible and to guide them to Christian maturity.

Our Beliefs

GSBC is a cooperating Southern Baptist church
with the following cherished beliefs:

God the Father
There is one God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Who subsist in unity, and also as three separate, distinct Persons.

God the Son
Jesus Christ is God's Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, arose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will literally return to Earth.

God the Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, the Divine Helper, Assistant, Counselor, and Instructor; and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the individual.

The Bible
The Bible is God's Holy Word, without error,
and is the sole authority for life.

Man
Human beings are the special creations of God, made in His image. They fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all human beings are sinners in need of salvation.

Salvation
Salvation is a gift through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ and will spend eternity in Heaven, while those who die in their sins will spend eternity in hell. Each believer has direct access to God through Jesus Christ.

Baptism
Baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ's command.

The Church 
The church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
