What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
Liberty Baptist Church is a gospel-centered church located in Kimberly, Alabama. We affirm the Baptist Faith and Message and are a member of the Southern Baptist Convention as well as the North Jefferson Baptist Association.
THE TRIUNE GOD
The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
SCRIPTURES
All Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
CREATION
God created human beings, male and female, in his own image. Men and women, equally made in the image of God, enjoy equal access to God by faith in Christ Jesus and are both called to significant engagement in family, church, and civic life.
THE FALL
Adam, made in the image of God, distorted that image and forfeited his original blessedness – for himself and all his progeny – by falling into sin through Satan's temptation. As a result, all human beings are alienated from God, corrupted in every aspect of their being and condemned to death-apart from God's own gracious intervention.
SALVATION
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
THE CHURCH
The New Testament speaks of the church as the Body of Christ which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.
THE NEW CREATION
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
