WHAT TO EXPECT
Faith Baptist Church of Toms River exists to promote the worship of God by preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ at home and abroad, witnessing to the lost of the community, and winning them to Christ. It is the desire of Faith Baptist Church that our people would be sensitive to the call of God for Christian service.
OUR HEARTBEAT
WE ARE...
CHRIST CENTERED
And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. — Colossians 1:18
BIBLE PREACHING
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. — Romans 10:17
EVANGELISTIC
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." — Mark 16:15
THE BIBLE
We believe the 66 Books of the Old and New Testament are inspired, inerrant, perfectly preserved, and completely sufficient.
GOD
We believe there is one God who eternally exists as three equally divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He alone is God and there is none like Him.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the absolute Deity of the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, that He was divine as no other man can be, being very God of very God; existing from all eternity, coequal with the Father and the Holy Spirit; that He never ceased to be God for one instant and that His humiliation did not consist of laying aside His Deity.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person having the same nature as God the Father and God the Son.
THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created by God without sin, but chose to sin. As a result man fell from his sinless and happy state, in consequence of which, all mankind are now sinners.
SALVATION
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God brought to men by grace and received by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of sins. We believe that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only condition of salvation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
We believe that each individual should decide on appropriate dress. Some people, including the pastor, wear a suit and tie. Many people dress more casually.
Yes. We have Nursery, Sunday School, and Junior Church. We are looking to revitalize our Youth Group.
Our pastor preaches using an expository style, which means he preaches through books of the Bible. Occasionally, he will preach topically, which means he presents a topic from a Biblical perspective. Faith Baptist Church is committed to preaching the whole counsel of God.
We use the NKJV for teaching and preaching. Some in our fellowship use other versions for personal study.
