At FBCPS, we want people to believe in the saving grace of Jesus, to grow in their relationship and walk with Him, to love those around them, and to serve for the cause of Christ.
First Baptist Church Powder Springs (FBCPS) is a vibrant community dedicated to worship, service, and fellowship. Our mission is to lead people to faith in Jesus Christ, nurture their spiritual growth, and encourage loving and serving others. We emphasize Bible-based teaching, Christ-centered living, and the importance of prayer.
FBCPS offers diverse worship services, connection groups, and a variety of ministries for all ages, aimed at fostering strong relationships and community outreach.
Worship is the central piece of what we do — sharing the gospel and worshiping God — and is the primary way the church family gathers our hearts together.
Our Sunday morning Connection Groups and Wednesday Bible Studies are one of our main vehicles for growing closer to God while walking alongside other believers.
Our desire is for each person to discover and use their spiritual giftedness to assist in equipping the saints. We would love to help you find where your giftedness and the needs of our church meet.
Our heart reaching our community for Jesus. We strive to have missional urgency as we reach into the community with the gospel.
We believe, love and worship the one and only unchanging, sovereign, and loving God, the Creator and Ruler of all things in heaven and earth. God is manifest in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
GEN 1:1,26; EX 20:2-3; DEUT 6:4; 1 CHRO 29:11,12; JOB 38-41; PS 90:2; MATT 6:9; 1 PETER 1:2
Jesus Christ, our Lord, is God in the flesh. He is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, fully God, fully man, sinless. He died on the cross in our place for our sins, was buried, resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, as our Advocate, and will return to judge the living and the dead.
MATT 1:18-23; LUKE 1:31-33; JOHN 1:1-18; ACTS 1:9- 11; ACTS 2:22-24; 1 COR 15; HEB 1:1-3; REV 5:9-14
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, exalting Christ and convicting us of our sin and need for Jesus Christ. He fully lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He comforts, teaches and empowers us to live in righteousness. He equips every believer with spiritual gifts for service in the Body of Christ.
MATT 1:18; JOHN 14:16-17; JOHN 14:26; JOHN 15:26; JOHN 16:7-14; ACTS 1:8; 1 COR 3:16; 1 PETER 4:10
The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God to reveal God and His will to man. The Bible has God as its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error. The Bible is the sole authority for Christian living.
DEUT 4:1-2; PS 12:6; PS 19:7-10; PS 119:105, 160; HEB 4:12; 2 TIM 3:16; 2 PETER 1:20-21
Man is made in the image of God – created to worship God, to glorify Him and to have dominion over the earth. Sin separates man from God and man is eternally doomed unless he receives salvation in Jesus Christ.
GEN 1:26; PS 8:3-6; ACTS 17:26-31; ROM 3:10-18, 23
Since all persons are separated from God by sin and are in need of forgiveness, God offers the free gift of salvation. Each person must individually accept this gift, repent of sin, and place faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
EX 6:2-8; MATT 16:21-26; JOHN 3:15-16; JOHN 17:3; ROM 3:23; ROM 5:1; ROM 6:23; EPH 2:8-9
Jesus Christ is the head of His Body, the Church. The Body of Christ is composed of believers. The purpose of the Church is to carry out His mission in the world and is best lived out in local, autonomous churches.
MATT 16:15-19; ACTS 2:41-42, 47; ROM 12:4-8; 1 COR 12; EPH 4:10-16; REV 2 & 3
Baptism by immersion follows Christ’s example, symbolizing death, burial and resurrection to new life in Christ. It serves as a testimony of faith after accepting Christ as personal Savior and Lord. Communion is an act of obedience and a testimony of faith. It symbolically memorializes the death of Jesus Christ.
