What We Believe
Rooted in the Word of God
Our Convictions
A Southern Baptist Church
in Wilburton, Oklahoma
We are a Southern Baptist church, which means we belong to a fellowship of nearly 47,000 churches across the United States that share a common faith and a common mission — to make Christ known.
What That Means for Us
Being Southern Baptist shapes how we worship, how we read Scripture, and how we live as a church family. A few of our core convictions:
- The Bible is God's Word. We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man — without error, fully trustworthy, and the supreme standard for our faith and practice.
- Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. No one is good enough to earn it. Christ paid the price on the cross, and anyone who turns to Him in repentance and faith is made new.
- Baptism is for believers, by immersion. We baptize those who have professed faith in Christ, following the pattern of the New Testament.
- Every member matters. We're a congregational church — decisions are made together, every Christian is a minister, and every life has a place in the body.
- The Great Commission is our mission. Christ told His disciples to make disciples of all nations. We take that seriously, supporting missions locally, across North America, and around the world through the cooperative work of Southern Baptists.
Our beliefs are summarized formally in The Baptist Faith and Message 2000, the confession of faith adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention. If you'd like to read it in full, click the button below.
