We believe that God has called us together as a community of faith in the heart of the city of Edmonton to bring glory to Him through the Worship of God and by caring for one another in love and encouraging one another in growth toward Christian maturity.

We strive to introduce people to Jesus Christ and to His forgiving and healing power by declaring the authority and standards of God in all aspects of life and by serving those beyond our fellowship.

We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the ultimate authority in our lives having been brought to new life by God’s spirit living within us and having been baptized into the Body of Christ, the Church, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We make a solemn commitment to God and to one another to demonstrate our love and reverence for God by gathering regularly with one another in our services of worship and in our homes during the week.

We’re committed:

  • To love and encourage one another and, when necessary to lovingly call one another to account, so that we may grow together toward maturity in Christ.
  • To seek to meet the needs of those outside our community of faith, pointing by our words and actions, to the love of God expressed in Jesus Christ, and to God’s authority over all creation.
  • To seek in our worship and Christian living together to speak with relevance to the city and its people, providing a high level of 
acceptance and accessibility to people lowering the barriers in church life that may keep people from faith.
  • To seek, both individually and together, growth in understanding and Christian living, through prayer and study of the Bible, the inspired and authoritative Word of God.
  • To seek holiness and integrity in our personal lives and in our lives together.
  • To seek justice and well-being in the city and to establish a 
reputation for love, fairness, and integrity.
  • To use the gifts and creativity God has given us to build up the church and to serve beyond it.

We are First Baptist Church Edmonton.
