First Baptist Church of Culver City looks first to the Lord, then to the Southern Baptist Statement of Faith, to guide us.

Our Statement of Faith

​

THE SCRIPTURES

We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and the infallible rule of faith and practice. The Word of God is the foundation on which the church operates and is the basis for which the church is governed. We believe that the Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures.

​

THE TRINITY

We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory; that God created all, upholds all and governs all things.

​

GOD THE FATHER

We believe in the person of God the Father, an infinite, eternal, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love; that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that He hears and answer prayer; and that He saves from sin and death all those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

​

GOD THE SON

We believe in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings, his substitutions atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to earth.

​

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit, Who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctity and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. The supreme evidence of the Spirit-filled life is the fruit of the Spirit love. We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit in regard to the exercise of all biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the instructions given to us, and in present-day miracles.
