Our Vision
Our vision at Heritage Baptist Church is that we exist to worship God, to live in the joy and power of His grace, and to encourage one another in serving the Lord. We glorify God by being disciples who make disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit. We disciple so that we may become a mature church that is obedient to God’s word, and to replicate God’s grace in our lives, in our community, and throughout the world.
The glory of God is everything! The centerpiece of the universe for time and eternity is for God to be seen and praised for His matchless perfections! Every individual Christian and every local church family must have a continual, intentional, and passionate focus on the glory of God!
God is most glorified through the Person and work of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. By His unrivaled character and work, He has redeemed for Himself a people, the Church. As His church, we strive above all things to know Him, love Him, praise Him, and serve Him. It is by, through, and for Him that we exist. It is our goal to keep Him the honored center of all that we say and do: “In all things He must have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:18)
We believe that meaningful and enduring fellowship in a faith family is absolutely essential to the Christian’s life and ministry. We are committed not only to gather, but to do so for the purpose of encouraging one another and stimulating each other to love and good deeds.
It is our desire to be thoroughly biblical in the totality of our lives. Our purpose, our methods, and our goals must be from sound, biblical teaching. Our theology must dictate our methodology.
As a rudder directs a ship of God’s church, so is the preaching of the word of God in the power of the Spirit (2nd Timothy 3:16-4:2). The preacher must strive to be thoroughly biblical. The biblical text should be preached exegetically in its historical and grammatical context, giving application for today’s world. The pulpit is indispensable to the church’s growth in knowledge, holiness, and love. It cannot and should not be replaced or diminished.
The music team strives to lead the church family to glorify God and to edify one another through singing and musical instruments, ministering with spiritual passion and doctrinal integrity, while maintaining high standards of musical and lyrical excellence. The worship is to reinforce the faith and doctrine through song and to express congregational praise and worship to Christ, our Audience.
