LIGHTHOUSE IND BAPTIST CHURCH IS A . . .
- FUNDAMENTAL
We believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of both the Old and New
Testament. The Bible, the Word of God, is the full and complete
revelation of God’s will for man. It is the supreme and final authority
in all matters of faith and practice.
- INDEPENDENT
The government of this church, in line with the fundamental Baptist
principle of autonomy of the local fellowship and subject only to Jesus
Christ, who is the head of the Church, shall be vested in the body of
immersed believers who having been accepted into membership, shall
have full power to manage its own affairs as herein provided.
As a New Testament church our obligation is to co-operate with other
churches of like mind in contending for the faith and the furtherance
of the gospel, and that every church is the sole and only judge of the
measure and method of its co-operation.
- MISSIONS MINDED
We prayerfully and financially support soul-winning, gospel preaching, church planting missionaries in Australia and around the world.
- FAMILY ORIENTED
We believe that the family is an institution designed by God himself and that it is the bedrock of society. Lighthouse Baptist Church is dedicated to building strong, Christ-centered families and homes.
- BAPTIST
We believe that baptism is a symbol of the believer’s
identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. It is
strictly an act of obedience following conversion. Christ only gave
authority to His church to baptize by full immersion in water.
- CHURCH
We believe that while all believers are part of the invisible, universal
church. The visible local New Testament church is an organized
assembly of baptized believers with the purpose of fulfilling the Great
Commission given by Jesus Christ. Each church is to be autonomous,
indigenous, and independent. The church is governed, first, as a
theocracy; and secondly, as a democracy. The officers of the church
are Pastors also called Bishops, Overseers, Elders and deacons. The
church is to observe two ordinances established by Jesus Christ:
baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
