Our Core Beliefs

First Baptist Melbourne is a family of believers helping others find and follow Jesus.


Fulfilling Our Purpose: Engage, Grow, Serve, Multiply
 

• Engage God in Worship through a private quiet time and public worship so God is honored in all of life.

Mark 12:30-31 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." 

• Grow in Christ-likeness through obedience to His word and relationships with believers in a small group.

Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

• Serve others with joy by using your gifts in your group, church, community and world.

1Peter 4:10 "As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

• Multiply your witness by developing relationships with those far from God, equipping others to lead and starting new groups.

Matthew 28:18-20 "Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' "
