What We Believe

Below is a short list of some of the primary doctrinal beliefs we have at FBC Jacksonville. You can find a more detailed list here.

  • God is the creator and Ruler of the universe.

  • God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and is co-equal with the Father.

  • The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.

  • The Holy Spirit empowers and equips believers for Christian living.

  • The Bible is God’s Word to us.

  • People are made in the image of God, to be like him in character.

  • Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.

  • Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity.

  • All people will exist forever either in Heaven or Hell.

Our Vision: Forward As One

First Baptist Church & EaglePoint Church are moving Forward As One!

We’d love to welcome you to one of our Sunday morning worship services. We’re entering an exciting time in the life of our church, as we anticipate moving Forward As one in a new building.

Until then, our church family has re-merged, and invites you to please join us for worship at our EaglePoint church building at 9am or 10:30am.
