Since 1870
A Long Line of Faithfulness
Over the years, Lucy Baptist Church has consistently sought to obey the Great Commission of our Lord both locally and around the world. We have participated in gospel ministry through prayers, monetary gifts, and service. Lucy has a history of faithful and generous giving in support of missions. Many of our members have gone out from us as missionaries and as leaders in other churches. It is our hope that God will continue to use us to carry the torch of the gospel faithfully and to pass it on to future generations.
Our Mission
Loving God, Loving People, Making Disciples
Jesus told his disciples that the two greatest commandments are "love the Lord your God" and "love your neighbor as yourself" (Matt. 22:37–39). Before he ascended into heaven, Jesus also commissioned his followers to disciple the nations and baptize people into the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit (Matt. 28:18–20). We derive our mission as a church from these words of our Lord.
What We Believe
The Heart of Our Faith
Jesus is at the heart of the Christian faith. We often use the word "gospel" to refer to the "good news" of what Jesus has accomplished. The apostle Paul described it like this:
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).
This is the center of our belief and all the ministry we do. We strive to make this good news known to all, and to promote its influence over those striving to live a life of faithful service to Jesus.
