ABOUT US
OUR VISION
It is our sincere desire that Leavittsburg Baptist Church would be a place where...
​
1. ...The Word of God is preached in sincerity and truth. We allow ourselves to be challenged and transformed by It even, and especially, when the Scripture disagrees with our long held opinions and beliefs regardless of how we came about those ideas.
​
2. ...The body of believers is a safe haven for those who are hurting and in bondage to sin. By proclaiming the truths of God's Word sin is revealed and when the Word is heard and followed, sin can be acknowledged, confessed and dealt with according to God's will. This leads to spiritual healing, peace and joy.
​
3. ...We are a family and not an institution, business or social gathering. A family deals with important matters in a different manner than businesses, clubs or other institutions.
​
4. ...Christians can grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
​
5. ...Those who join this local body can use their gifts to evangelize unbelievers and edify fellow believers through practical ministries.
​
6. ...Believers can worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We do not worship out of obligation, rather we choose to worship because He alone is worthy of worship and we are filled with joy and gratitude to Him because of his sacrifice on the cross, burial and, resurrection on our behalf. Because He is the one and only perfect sacrifice for our sins, when we receive him as Savior our sins are forgiven and we are given the honor and privilege of being adopted into the family of God and develop a relationship with the One True God and Creator of the universe.
WHAT WE DO
We believe that the Word of God says what God determined it would say and that nothing should be added or removed from it. Our actions, attitudes and beliefs should be informed by the immutable Word of God and not by the ever-shifting morays and morals of society.
OUR COMMUNITY
We seek to have not only a community of believers but also, since we are ultimately brothers and sisters in the family of God, as children of God, we seek to comport ourselves in a manner that brings honor and glory to Him.
