Our Purpose Statement

The First Baptist Church of Ashville is a fellowship of believers glorifying God and proclaiming the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through...

  • Worship
  • Prayer
  • Serving Others
  • Teaching Biblical Truth

 

WORSHIP - Worship is humbling ourselves before God in praise and service.

 

Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship." (NIV)

 

 

PRAYER - Prayer is an act of communion that allows us to converse directly with God.

 

Ephesians 6:18a "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." (NIV)

 

 

SERVING OTHERS - Serving others is seeking to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our church, our community and the world.

1 Peter 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." (NIV)

 

 

TEACHING BIBLICAL TRUTH - Teaching Biblical truth is providing instruction by accurately examining and applying the written word of God.

 

2 Timothy 2:15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (NIV)
