Kuttawa First Baptist Church is part of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Caldwell/Lyon Baptist Association. Though we are blessed and strengthened by our relationship with both of these groups, we are an autonomous body of believers, meaning that the body, under the leadership of Christ is self-determining on all matters.

Summary of Beliefs:

God
We believe in God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit, one God in three Persons. We believe the Bible, made up of the Old and New Testaments, is the perfect, inspired Word of God. The Bible is our written authority for our beliefs and lifestyle.

Mankind & Sin
Man is created in the image of God and all human life is precious in the sight of God. However, all people sin by disobeying God. Sin separates us from God, and thus we are in need of a Savior.

Salvation
We believe that salvation from sin is by God's grace through man's faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and arose from the grave to forgive us of our sins. There is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus Christ.

End Times, Heaven & Hell
We believe that Jesus Christ will come again to judge all mankind, and that those who have received Him by faith will spend eternity in Heaven, while those who have not received Him will spend eternity in Hell.

Missions and Evangelism
We believe that every believer has a responsibility to share the good news of salvation by Jesus Christ with all races and all nations.

The Church, Baptism & Lord's Supper
The local church is a gathering of baptized believers in Jesus Christ who serve together to strengthen one another and bring others to faith in Christ. Our church observes two ordinances: the Lord's Supper and baptism. The Lord's Supper is a symbolic memorial of the death of the Savior. Baptism is the full-water immersion of the believer to represent his or her faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Family
Marriage is the union of one man and one woman, in a covenant relationship for a lifetime. The husband is to be the spiritual leader in his home. Parents are partners, with the assistance of the church, in teaching spiritual and moral values to their children.
