At White Lake Baptist Church, our heart beats with a singular purpose: to share the knowledge of Jesus Christ and demonstrate what it means to live according to Christian standards. We believe that true fulfillment in life comes from a deep, personal relationship with Jesus and an understanding of the love, grace, and redemption He offers to every person. Our church exists to glorify God by encouraging people to grow in their faith, align their lives with biblical teachings, and experience the transformative power of the gospel.
We are a family of believers who come together to worship, learn, and serve. Whether you are exploring the Christian faith for the first time or have been walking with Christ for many years, our church is a place where you can grow spiritually and connect with others on the same journey. Our desire is to help individuals and families discover God’s purpose for their lives and live out their faith in everyday situations.
Knowledge of Jesus Christ
Central to the life and ministry of White Lake Baptist Church is the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We believe that knowing Jesus is not just an intellectual exercise but a profound, life-changing relationship. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior, and the perfect example of how to live a life that is pleasing to God. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He offers forgiveness, hope, and eternal life to all who place their trust in Him.
At White Lake Baptist, we emphasize the importance of knowing Jesus personally. This relationship begins with understanding who He is, as revealed in the Bible. We study Scripture deeply and carefully because we believe it is the inspired Word of God, teaching us about God’s character, His plan for humanity, and how we can experience His love through faith in Christ. As we grow in our knowledge of Jesus, we learn how to live in a way that reflects His love, grace, and truth in our relationships, work, and community.
We encourage everyone in our church to pursue a deep, personal connection with Jesus. Whether through personal Bible study, prayer, or discipleship, we offer many opportunities to grow in your understanding of Jesus and apply His teachings to your life. We believe that the more we know Christ, the more we are transformed into His likeness, and the more we can be a light to those around us.
A Christian Standard of Living
At White Lake Baptist Church, we believe that faith in Christ should impact every aspect of our lives. Our calling as Christians is not just to believe in Jesus, but to follow His example and live according to His teachings. This means living a life that reflects the love, integrity, humility, and compassion of Christ in all that we do.
We understand that living according to Christian standards can be challenging in today’s world. That’s why we are committed to supporting and encouraging one another as we strive to live lives that honor God. Whether it’s in our relationships, our work, or how we serve our community, we seek to apply biblical principles in practical, everyday ways.
One of the core values at White Lake Baptist Church is fostering spiritual growth and holiness in the lives of our members. We believe that every believer is called to live a life that reflects the righteousness and holiness of Christ. This means pursuing a life of integrity, kindness, and service to others. We encourage each other to live out the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—so that our lives bear witness to the transformative power of Christ.
As a church, we are committed to creating an environment where spiritual growth is nurtured. This includes providing opportunities for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship, so that we can grow together in our faith. We also believe that accountability is important in the Christian life, which is why we encourage honest and loving relationships where we can support and challenge one another in our walk with Christ.
Our Beliefs
White Lake Baptist Church is rooted in the historic Christian faith. We affirm the essential doctrines of the Bible, including the belief in one God, who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day. His death and resurrection provide the only way for us to be reconciled to God and receive eternal life. We believe that all people are sinners in need of God’s grace, and through faith in Christ, we are forgiven, justified, and adopted into God’s family.
We believe in the importance of the church as the body of Christ. The church is not just a building, but a community of believers who are united in Christ and called to worship, fellowship, and serve together. We believe that every believer is gifted by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of building up the body of Christ and serving others.
Our Community
At White Lake Baptist Church, we believe that the church is a family where everyone is welcome. We are a diverse group of people from different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life, but we are united by our faith in Jesus Christ. We strive to create a loving, welcoming environment where people feel at home, whether they are visiting for the first time or have been a part of our church family for many years.
One of the ways we live out our faith is by serving our community. We believe that the church is called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, reaching out to those in need with the love of Christ. Whether it’s through local outreach programs, supporting missionaries, or partnering with other organizations to serve those in need, we are committed to making a difference in our community and beyond.
We also believe in the importance of fellowship and building meaningful relationships within the church. Our church family is a place where you can find friendship, encouragement, and support as you walk through life’s ups and downs. We offer a variety of small groups, Bible studies, and fellowship events where you can connect with others and grow in your faith together.
Our Vision for the Future
As we look to the future, our vision at White Lake Baptist Church remains focused on growing in our knowledge of Jesus Christ and living out our faith in a way that impacts our community and the world. We believe that God has a purpose for our church and for each individual who is a part of it, and we are excited to see how He will continue to work in and through us.
We are committed to being a church that faithfully preaches the gospel, disciples believers, and serves others in love. Our desire is to be a place where people can come to know Jesus, grow in their faith, and be equipped to live out their faith in the world. We believe that as we continue to seek God’s will for our church, He will lead us into new opportunities to share His love and make a difference in the lives of those around us.
