What Word of Truth IS

Every church has an identity.  Like it or not, that identity is connected to the identity of its leadership.  For example, most right-minded Americans who follow the news regard Westboro Baptist Church as a bunch of kooks.  This perception is based on the behavior of the pastor as well as other members of his family.  (If you don't know about these freaks, look it up.  I refuse to link to them and send them any traffic.  Let's just say they bring shame to the name of Christ.)  So, how to identify Word of Truth Baptist Mission?  We already looked at what we are not.  But who and what are we?

Word of Truth is committed to following the Scriptures, both Old Testament and New Testament.  The Bible tells us that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.  When we refer to the Scriptures, that means the King James Bible.  It is God's Word for English-speaking people, and EVERY SINGLE WORD is true!

Word of Truth believes that Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost, and that he died for the sins of ALL humanity.  I know some smart folks who are Reformed, but we simply believe the Bible when it says that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  (John 3:16)  Because of this belief, we are committed to preaching the gospel to all people.

We will try our best to love people the way Jesus does.  Yes, that is an unattainable goal while in sinful flesh, but it leads us to some principles.    Jesus does not love anyone more or less based on their skin color.  Neither should we.  Jesus does not love anyone more or less based on their income.  Neither should we.  Jesus said He came to preach the gospel to the brokenhearted.  This mission led Him to people who were not popular with religious people.  We intend to follow Him to these people.  We want Word of Truth Baptist Church to one day be filled with people who love Jesus - white and black, Hispanic and Asian, businessmen, educators, dropouts, parolees, grandmothers, single parents, two-parent families, police officers, waitresses, landscapers, some with tattoos, some without, unemployed . . .in short, we will welcome anyone Jesus wants to save. 

We expect Jesus to come again for His church any day now, so that makes the business of preaching the gospel urgent.  Whether He comes this week or in 20 years, He will require an accounting of how we spent this life He gave us.


That is an overview of who we are.  Not exhaustive, but a glimpse.  Keep coming back and checking us out, and drop me an email.  Jesus loves you, and we want to prove that to you.
