Our church has always had an open door policy. Feel free to ask any question about any ministry. We welcome your questions. Below are answers to some of the questions we are frequently asked.

• What's in the name Baptist?

  This church is a Baptist Church by conviction and principle, not by affiliation. This means that we believe the basic Bible teaching for which Baptist have historically stood. As Baptists we believe the following: The Bible is our sole authority for all matters of faith and practice. The church should be autonomous or self-governing. The believer does not need a priest other than Jesus Christ to come boldly to God. Every Christian has equal access to God personally. God's Word gives us two ordinances for the church - baptism and the Lord's table. Each person is individually responsible for his decision to accept Christ. The separation of church and state is Biblical. The believer is eternally secure and cannot lose salvation. There are two Biblical offices in the church pastors and deacons.

• What does it mean to be independent?

  As an independent Baptist church, we are not affiliated with any particular Baptist denomination or ruling body. Because of this we can support our own missionaries, select our own leaders, and support institutions that believe as we believe. In short, our church answers to the headship of Jesus Christ rather than a denominational body. There are currently more than 10,000 independent Baptist churches in America and thousands more throughout the world.

• What is required for membership?

  To be a member of FBT you must first be saved and baptized in a Baptist church of like-faith.
