Our Core Values

The following are the core values of First Baptist Brandon based on the foundational truths taught in the bible.
All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

Scripture

We believe the Bible is the authority for all our lives. We value people being developed into Christ-likeness by hearing the Word of God accurately exposed and explained from the pulpit, in every Bible study,
and in every small group.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Worship

We value Christ-cenered worship that glorifies God rather than man. Believers are to constantly worship individually with their lives and are also expected to gather to worship as the Body of Christ.
John 4:23; Romans 12:1; Isaiah 6: Colossians 3:16;
1 Corinthians 14:24-25; Isaiah 42:8

Prayer

We emphasize payer in every individual believer and in corporate times of worship. Payer is an instrument by which thd Holy Spirit empowers the individual and the corporate body of believers to live for God.
1 Thessalonians 5:17; John 14:13

Discipleship

We minister to and disciple the family, individually and as a whole. We adequately disciple every member in the Word equipping them to minister and train others.
2 Timothy 2:2; John 8:31; John 15:8

Service

We believe all members should be committed to serve the Lord through the church and in their everyday lives with all that they have. Believers are expected to grow spiritually and become more equipped with their
God-given gifts.
1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10

Authentic Relationships

We believe being connected to a Biblical community is not optional. No one should walk alone in the Christian journey since we are all members of one body. As we walk together in Christ, authentic fellowship will result in
life-changing relationships.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:5;
Philippians 2:1-11; Hebrews 10:24-25

Evangelism/Missions

We value Evangelism and Missions because we desire for all people to be transformed by Jesus from their lostness in sin to being born again in Him and guide them to become fully devoted disciples of Christ. Our drive for making disciples is to make God's Glory known
in Brandon, Mississippi, North America, and all Nations.
Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8

"Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life."

- J.C. Ryle

"The foundation of true holiness and true Christian worship is the doctrine of the gospel, what we are to believe."

- John Owen

"The doctrines of grace humble man without degrading him and exalt him without inflating him."

- Charles Hodge

What We Believe

FBC Brandon is a Southern Baptist Church. We follow the Baptist Faith & Message and we believe there is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate his power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven's glory and will return someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
