First Baptist Church of Goodpine exists by the grace of God, for the glory of God, to fulfill the call to make and mature disciples of all nations by faithfully pursuing the five (5) irreducible, non-negotiable marks of a true church: 1) Continually governed and ruled under the Holy Scriptures in preaching, teaching, and everyday life. 2) Being led and directed by scripturally-qualified men. 3) Faithfully, reverently, and joyfully observing the only two ordinances of the gospel – Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. 4) Compassionately exercising Church Discipline – Formative and Corrective. 5) Living vibrant Christian lives of spiritual worship, fellowship and brotherly love, sanctification and holiness of life, corporate prayer, evangelism and missions, and charity and benevolence towards those inside and outside the church.
