First Baptist Church Cumming: Making Disciples Who Make Disciples

Welcome to First Baptist Church Cumming, where our mission is clear and our purpose is profound: "Making Disciples Who Make Disciples." Rooted in the Great Commission, we are dedicated to nurturing followers of Jesus to not only deepen their faith but also spread His teachings to others.

Our Mission: Committed to Following Jesus

At First Baptist Church, we are driven by Jesus' command in Matthew 28:18-20 ESV, where He instructs us to make disciples of all nations. A disciple is someone who is wholly committed to following Jesus, spending time with Him, and growing to reflect His character. Our mission is to guide individuals on this transformative journey, equipping them to disciple others and expand the reach of His love.

Our Vision: Giving Ourselves Away

Our vision is to be a church that embodies selflessness and generosity. Following Jesus' example, we believe in "Giving Ourselves Away." Jesus demonstrated this by giving His time, teaching, and ultimately His life to make disciples. Inspired by Philippians 2:5-8 ESV, we aim to serve and support each other and our community, reflecting Christ’s humility and sacrificial love.

Our Values: Core Principles That Guide Us

At First Baptist Church Cumming, our core values shape how we live out our mission and vision:

  • Sovereignty of God: We honor God's supreme authority over all things. As servants of the King, we seek to align our lives with His will, recognizing that everything belongs to Him. (Psalm 24:1-2 ESV)

  • Sanctity of Life: Every person is created in God's image and deserves respect and love. This belief fuels our commitment to evangelism and advocacy for human dignity. (Genesis 1:27 ESV)

  • Significance of the Local Church: We cherish the local church as the “body of Christ” and “flock of God,” acknowledging its vital role in God’s plan. We are dedicated to gathering together, supporting one another, and fulfilling our mission. (Acts 20:28 ESV)

Join us at First Baptist Church Cumming as we strive to be a beacon of faith, hope, and love. Whether you're exploring Christianity or seeking a community of fellow believers, we invite you to experience the transformative power of discipleship with us. Together, let's make disciples who make disciples and live out the mission and vision God has set before us.
