Our purpose as a church is to bring glory to God through the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world, as the only way of salvation. We desire for others to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and become actively involved in a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church that cares for them.
We pledge to teach sound doctrine and devote ourselves to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. We pledge to support and send missionaries into all the world, disciple believers through the preaching and teaching of the whole council of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures, and through the holy worship of the Triune God in word, in music, and in deed.
Sunlight Missionary Baptist Church, as long as it exists, shall remain an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church, free of any organized religious movement, conventions, fellowships, associations, etc. This church will be subject to the control of no other ecclesiastical (church) body. The head of this church is Christ, the authority of this church is the Word of God, and the guidance of this church is from the Holy Spirit.
We pledge, by the help of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in brotherly love; (Amos 3:3; Rom. 15:5-6; 1 Cor. 1:10; 1 John 2:10); to exercise Christian care and watchfulness over one another (Rom. 14:7; Gal. 6:2; II Thes. 3:14-15); to remember each other in prayer (Col.1:9; I Thes. 5:25; II Thes. 3:1; Heb. 13:18); to share in one another’s joys and sorrows; (Rom. 12:15; Phil. 4:16); and to be slow to take offense and always ready to make reconciliation (Matt. 18:15,21-22; Rom. 14:19; I Cor. 6:7).
To these and all other Christian duties we do humbly and cheerfully submit ourselves, promising to perform them, not in our own strength, being aware of our weakness, but in the strength of the Lord, whose we are, and whom we serve; to whom be glory through all ages, world without end. Amen.
