First Belton

It all started with sin
For the joy… the cross
Our joy is found in the grace of God through faith

Diverse Gifts, One Spirit
One Body, Many Parts
Bound Together in Love

God created all people equal in value and dignity and yet, beautifully distinct. Together, we embrace these differences as we seek to love and serve our neighbors and the community. We seek to be unified in leadership and vision as we pursue gospel partnerships in Bell County and to the ends of the earth.

We were made for a purpose. God’s grace and love compel us into a life of mission from our doorstep to the ends of the earth. This is our calling in which we all participate. We take an integrative approach to God’s mission because we believe missions is who we are and not what we do.

Transforming Discipleship Reorients a Disordered Heart
Transforming Discipleship is a Declaration of Allegiance

God is present
Eternity is at hand
Unbiblical teaching is appealing
You are called into a life of Word-centered ministry

We were created to worship.
As a result of the Fall, we are tempted to worship creation over the Creator.
When worship is ordered rightly, it becomes the lens by which we see everything else.
All of life is worship. As God’s people, we recognize all we have and all we are is a blessing from Him. Together, we present ourselves over to God as faithful worshippers by practicing radical generosity with our time, our finances, our interests, and our homes for the advancement of the gospel in the world.

Excellence begins at creation.
Excellence is rooted in the gospel.
Excellence is undistracting.
Excellence is our calling.
