What we believe « First Baptist Danville Indiana

What we believe

We believe in:

The Bible – is the complete inspired Word of God
The Trinity
The Virgin birth
The eternal Deity of Jesus Christ and His humanity
The spiritual lostness of man
The substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
Salvation by saving faith in Jesus Christ alone
Baptism by immersion, not for salvation, but for obedience and identification
The physical return of Jesus Christ
The resurrection of both the saved and the lost – the lost are resurrected to eternal damnation in hell and the saved to eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven

Our History

January 16, 1966, twenty-five people signed a charter and constituted themselves to be the First Baptist Church of Danville. Thus, under the shepherding ministry of Rev. Leon Rowland, First Baptist Church was established. Through much prayer, excellent leadership, hard work, and the gracious help from friends and sister churches, First Baptist Church grew and matured. During the Rowlands five year ministry in Danville, a great number of people were added to the church and the facilities were painted and improved.

In 1971, Ron McDugle accepted a call to serve as pastor. In 1974 it was evident that a major change of facilities was necessary. Ground was broken on May 7, 1978 and the first services were held in the new building on May 20, 1979.

Today we stand before our God as witnesses of His faithfulness. His sustaining grace has made possible the facilities and ministries by which we spiritually profit. To God be the glory -He has done & is doing great things.
