Winter Haven Baptist Church exists for the purpose of:

• Proclaiming and magnifying the name of Jesus Christ through worship.
• Providing Biblical teaching and training to equip for ministry.
• Presenting the Gospel to those in our community and around the world.
• Producing Christ like maturity in the lives of our members.

We Believe:

• That there is one God, manifest in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
• That Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sin of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven
• In the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth
• That the Bible is the Word of God without error, the sole authority for life
• That man is a special creation of God, made in His image
• That mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners in need of salvation
• That salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
• That every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ
• That persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven
• That the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
