Our Beliefs

At FBCMO, we strive to provide a Christ-centered worship service. One that honors and glorifies God as well as exemplifies the gospel each and every week.

What We Believe

_______________________________

About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God

to write the very words of Scripture.  Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.

About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that

Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal

God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world.

About Mankind
We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated

in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is incapable of regaining

a right relationship with God through his own effort alone.

About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin.

Therefore, salvation occurs only when people place their faith in the death and

resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.

About the Christian Life
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word of God

and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.

About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church

are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church

is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.

We are a Southern Baptist Church along with millions of members and tens of thousands of churches. Unique to Southern Baptists are over 10,000 missionaries around the world. Our church's support of missionaries and cooperative giving are part of what makes us different than other Baptist churches.  We follow the beliefs of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.

First Baptist Church of Mount Olive is a loving group of people just like you. We are all different, but we share the same desire to love each other and grow together as a part of the family of God.
