Beliefs

Winter Haven Baptist Church exists for the purpose of:

• Presenting the Gospel to those in our community and around the world. 

• Providing Biblical teaching and training to equip for ministry. 

• Producing Christ like maturity in the lives of our members. 

• Proclaiming and magnifying the name of Jesus Christ through worship.

We Believe:

• That there is one God, manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit 

• That Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven 

• In the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth 

• That the Bible is the Word of God without error, the sole authority for life 

• That man is a special creation of God, made in His image 

• That mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation 

• That salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ 

• That every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ 

• That persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven 

• That the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head
