Community Values of First Baptist Church Carrollton
More about what First Baptist Church Carrollton believes and practices:
Our congregational convictions come from Baptist tradition. We readily affirm The Lordship of Jesus Christ. We use holy scripture, especially the teachings of Jesus Christ, as our guide in all matters of faith and practice. In addition to these primary beliefs, we affirm other long-standing Baptist principles such as:
We articulate our core beliefs in our five core community values, which we use in worship several times each year as a way of reminding ourselves of the important convictions that bind us together.
Our polity of congregational government and autonomy allows us to make decisions such as fully affirming women in ministry and any other service role. For years, we have ordained women as ministers and deacons. We also practice open communion, meaning members of other Christian traditions are free to participate in communion, if they choose.
