Our Beliefs

BBC is a Southern Baptist church located in the foothills of North Carolina. We strive to be in the center of God's Will and focus on Jesus Christ as we worship and grow together.
No earthly church is perfect but we serve Jesus Christ who is perfect and forgives us for our short comings and failures. We would love for you to join our church family.
BBC is a member of the Surry Baptist Association.

THE GOSPEL   We believe that the gospel is the central truth of the Bible, the foundation of our faith, and the fuel for the Christian life. The gospel is the good news that while we were dead in our sin, God sent his son Jesus to live a perfect life on our behalf, die a substitutionary death to pay the penalty for our sin, and rise again from the grave to offer us new life in his Spirit.   Acts 2:22–2:39; Galatians 3:13; 1 Corinthians 15:3–15: 1 Corinthians 8; 2 Corinthians 5:21

God   We believe that God is the Creator of everything and that he exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.   Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 64:8; Matthew 3:16–17, Matthew 28:19, Hebrews 1:2–3

The Scriptures   We believe the Bible to be God’s Word, a true and fully accurate account of God’s love for us. Its purpose is to teach us how to have a relationship with him, worship him, and bring him glory.   Psalm 19:7–10; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21

Humanity   We believe that God created us in his image to worship him and give him glory. This is true of both men and women, who are equal and complementary partners in God's mission and reflect his beauty, goodness, and creativity.   Genesis 1:26–27, Genesis 2:18; Isaiah 43:7; Psalm 96:9; Galatians 3:28; 1 Timothy 2:11–15

Sin and Salvation   We believe that sin has kept us from knowing God and worshiping him but that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin, was physically resurrected, and now offers a restored relationship with God as a free gift to all who believe in him.   John 3:16; Acts 2:22–39; Romans 3:21–24
