Our Mission Statement
A Church Home in the Heart of Kingston…
Our Vision Statement
Experiencing freedom and security in Jesus Christ through love, growth, and service
Jesus summed up the law in two
commands:
Love God and Love others.
We seek to offer a place where believers
respond to God’s love by
worshipping in Spirit and Truth, and
learning to love others sacrificially.
( Luke 10:27; 1 Peter 2:4-9, John
4:24,Phil. 2:4, 2 Cor. 8:5)
As believers grow in love, a
desire for the Word of God takes root. We strive to feed that holy
hunger through relevant, biblical preaching and
discipleship classes that meet both at
church and in homes throughout
the
week.
( Phil. 3:10, Acts 2:42, 2 Pet. 3:18, Prov.
6:23, Matt. 28:20)
Service:
Once believers
experience the transforming power of God’s
Word, they are set free to
find
their
place in ministry in all manner of creative ways.
Jesus’ last words were to make disciples of
all nations.
We seek to encourage and support the
spiritual gifts of each member by providing
opportunities
to serve, and by being open to new, Spirit-led ministries that will
allow First Baptist Kingston to reflect the glory of God to all people
and make disciples here and among the nations.
(John 8:32, Matt.28:19, Luke 8:21, 2 Cor. 5:
18-20;, Psalm 67:2)
