Our Beliefs 

Doctrine

“Doctrine” is often seen as a lofty series of intellectual concepts debated by theologians and scholars. On the contrary, every follower of Christ holds to beliefs that comprise doctrines. Stating that we believe in God requires a series of faith-based acknowledgments: that's doctrine. Bible study, missions, and even worship can't exist without healthy doctrine. For this reason, it is important for every follower of Christ to grow in their understanding of God's Word and to partner with a like-minded local Church.

Our Mission 

Purpose

We are a rescued people who are called and equipped by God to assist in the rescue of others. This eternal work is accomplished through the Spirit of God by showing the love of Christ through our actions and sharing the good news of Jesus through our speech. We then invest in the spiritual life of those who come to faith so they can grow in spiritual maturity. DISCIPLES MAKE DISCIPLES

Our Story

History

The discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1091 quickly shifted the demographic of our congregation from farmers and settlers to oil tycoons and industry moguls. The resulting increase in population and resources led to Beaumont's little Baptist church growing into a megachurch before megachurches existed. Over the next hundred-plus years, our congregation shifted from one of the pearls of the Southern Baptist Convention to a faithful remnant. It was from this remnant that Jesus lifted up the vibrant disciple-making church that we are today.  
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Our Team

Staff

Our staff is probably not what you would expect. Though highly qualified and educated many of our team began their stories at Beaumont's First Baptist as church partners and volunteers. It may also surprise you that our staff consists of multiple published authors, seminary professors, apologists, musicians, certified educators, photographers, graphic designers, adventurers, and a cowboy.

When you think of a church.

Do you think about accountability?

Accountability is not all negative. When I gather week to week with my disciples, we discuss with each other what the risen Christ did in our lives that week, and we review the (theological) game films. We assess the outcome, acknowledging some fantastic successes alongside missed opportunities. 
We recognize that in our achievements we get to see Jesus' work. It is important to emphasize that successes are his successes, not our own.
