what DOES THE CHURCH believe?
​
We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God and as the ultimate authority in matters of faith doctrine and Christian living. This Church accepts “The Baptist Faith and Message” as most recently adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention as an affirmation of our basic Christian beliefs and as a statement of our faith.
​
​
WHAT IS EXPECTED AS A MEMBER?
​
At First Baptist Church of Cypress we never ask our members to do more than the Bible teaches. We expect our members to obey what Jesus command​s every follower of his to do. These responsibilities and practical commitments are spelled out below in the Membership Church Covenants.

-
I Will Serve the Ministry of My Church (1 Peter 4:10; Romans 12:6-8; Philippians 2:3-7)
