At Bath Baptist Church, our mission, purpose, and vision is clear. It determines why we do what we do and the way we do it.
Simply put...
Our mission is to love and glorify God by following his instructions, working together in unity to learn, teach and prepare for the return of Christ.
The Great Commission
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. -Matthew 28:19-20
The Great Commandment
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39
Our vision is to create a church that is defined by...
God-focused Worship. We believe that worship is all about reflecting God's glory back to Him and is ultimately governed by God's self-revelation in Scripture.
Gospel-centered Fellowship. At Bath Baptist, our vision is to see believers connecting with each other in spiritually meaningful ways as they point each other to Jesus Christ. Our passion is to be a church that is defined by discipleship.
Bible-Saturated Teaching. Since God's Word is absolutely true, our desire is to make God's Word central in all that we do. We are committed to expository preaching, meaning that we let the Bible drive the sermon and speak directly into our lives.
Community-Oriented Evangelism. Our vision is to be a church that is passionately reaching our neighbors, co-workers, and friends with the life-changing message of the Gospel.
