What We Believe

 

Mission

Belmont Heights Baptist Church strives to be a community of united, Spirit-filled followers of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:42-47) who:

Loves God supremely

Jesus replied: " 'Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." ( Mt. 22:37-38)

Loves others sincerely

And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Mt.  22:39-40)
 

Glorifies God in every area of life

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Cor. 10:31)
 

Makes other mature followers of Jesus

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mt. 28:19-20)
 

Pillars

Belmont Heights Baptist Church accomplishes this mission by prioritizing:
 
... Authoritative Teaching
... Persistent Prayer
... Passionate Worship
... Intimate Fellowship
... Sacrificial Giving
... Unyielding Evangelism
 
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common.  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.  They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.  And the LORD added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47) 
 

Faith and Doctrine

We further adopt the articles of faith as set forth in the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention, May 9, 1963, as our statement of faith and practice of our Church.  A copy of the Baptist Faith and Message may be obtained from the church office.
