Vision:


The purpose of Colfax Baptist Church is to love God and His Son Jesus Christ, and to disciple believers to love, evangelize, and serve the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Values


Jesus is King
We believe the church is the body of believers on earth, that Christ is our head and that we are to be His servants and accomplish His work on earth (Eph. 1:22-23).


Worship

We believe we are called to love and worship God together and make music to His name (Psalms 92:1-2).

 

Fellowship

We believe we are to love and encourage one another in love and fellowship (Heb. 10:24-25).


Equipping
We believe that we are all given gifts to accomplish His purposes (1 Cor. 12:27-28), that the church should help equip believers to use these gifts to proclaim Christ to the unsaved.


Service
We believe that to serve Christ, we must serve others by using the gifts God has given us (1 Cor. 12:4-11).


Outreach
We believe that we are called to follow the Great Commission to reach the world for Christ (Matt. 28:18-20, Romans 1:16), and that the lost can best be lead to Jesus by demonstrating His love in our lives and telling others about His love and plan for them.

Foundation:


We believe that there is only one true and living God who exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 32:39, Matt. 28:19).

We believe that the Bible is the only inspired, authoritative Word of God and that it is without error (2 Tim. 3:15,16).

We believe that Jesus is fully God in all aspects (John 1:1-4, Col. 1:15-20) and that He was born of a virgin (Matt. 1:18-24), lived a life without sin (2 Cor. 5:21), was crucified, died (John 19:30) , rose from the grave on the third day (John 20:10-18) and ascended into Heaven to be with His Father (Acts 1:9).

We believe that all men have sinned and are under judgment by God (Rom. 3:9-20), are saved by grace through faith in God’s Son, Jesus (Eph. 2:8-9), that there is a real Heaven and Hell (2 Cor. 12:1-4, Mk. 9:42-48), and that there is eternal life for those who believe, but eternal damnation for the lost (Rev. 14:10-11).

We believe that Jesus will return to establish his kingdom and that true believers will be with him forever (Matt. 25:31, Rev. 20:4-6).

We believe that God does not want anyone to be separated from him, but everyone to repent and be saved (John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9).
