First Baptist Church

It's been said that First Baptist Church of Enfield is:

• Reformed in Soteriology

• Baptistic in Church Polity

• Dispensational in Eschatology

• Fundamental in Our Commitment

• Caring in Our Love for People
At First Baptist, we take God's Word seriously — very seriously. And yet we don't think you'll find a friendlier church in the area. You see, a love for the Bible and a love for each other go hand-in-hand. If you're looking for fellowship and seeking to come to a deeper love and knowledge of God, we hope you will make it a point to visit us.

Which Bible? Commensurate with our preference for the method of translation known as formal equivalency, FBC teaches from the King James, New King James and New American Standard Bibles.

Membership — FBC believes in a "regenerate membership." Those confessing the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour and baptized by immersion may be received into membership following a five-week discipleship class, interview with the Elders, and testimony before the congregation.

Order of Priorities — 1. To glorify God; 2. To feed and equip its members; 3. To evangelize the lost.

Music — FBC services employ the "great hymns of the faith" along with contemporary songs of a suitable nature so as to "admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our hearts to the Lord" (Col. 3.16). The key element is doctrinal precision in recognition that our dear Christ is the silent listener and invisible observer of all we do. Click here to Analyze a Song!
