Mission & Beliefs
New Life • New Friends • New Hope
Our Mission: Winnwood Baptist Church is a faithful
body of believers who have committed to grow in a loving relationship with
Christ and with one another. With Christ's guidance, we desire to extend
this love to the people in our neighborhood and throughout the world. We
exist to present the gospel and provide people with opportunities to know
Christ as Savior and Lord and to become a meaningful part of His church
through nurture, fellowship and service.
Our vision for Winnwood is simple. We exist to Reach Up,
Reach Out, and Reach In - the three biblical mandates of the local church.
Reach Up - We
work hard to provide an exciting and God-honoring environment for worship.
When we worship God, we express our love to Him. What an honor it is to
humbly come before the Creator of the Universe. All of us are wired for
worship and the only way we can express true love to God and worship Him is
through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Reach Out -
Another key purpose of WBC is to reach out to people who are outside the
family of God. Every day, we rub shoulders with so many people who are just
an invite away from a life-changing encounter with Christ. We encourage you
to invite your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to attend WBC so
that they will hear and understand what it means to be a follower of Christ.
Reach In - We
also exist to help you as a Christ-follower grow in your spiritual maturity
and become full-court followers of Christ. Because the Christian life is one
of constant growth and development, we are focused on providing biblical
principles that can be applied to every day life. We want to help you move
from a spectator in the stands to the game of active service.
Core Values
We value Bible-centered preaching and
teaching.
We value servant leadership that follows
Christ's example of leading by serving others.
We value inspiring worship that encourages
all people to draw near to God in praise, prayer and commitment.
We value Bible study for all ages which
introduces people to Christ and equips Christians to follow Christ in all
areas of life.
We value sharing the Gospel through
missions and personal evangelism with all people in our community and
around the world.
We value the fellowship and sense of
community created by our common bond of faith in Christ.
We value a strong lay ministry that offers
opportunities for Christians to serve, having been equipped to do so by
the church's staff and leaders.
Basic Beliefs
Our basic beliefs are closely tied to the 1963 Baptist Faith
and Message confessional document of the Southern Baptist Convention.
