4 Values of First Southern Baptist Church
1. Gather– We value gathering as a body. We continually gather on Sunday mornings to worship God. We also gather in small groups and fellowship. (Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 10:25)
2. Going– We gather so we can scatter. We believe God has given us the mandate to go into the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We begin in Salina and take it to the ends of the earth. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)
3. Growing– We want to see our church body grow both deeper and wider. We want to see our church increase in number because we realize every person the Lord adds to our church is another person spending eternity with God. We also want to see our people grow in depth. We want to see our people transformed more and more into the image of Christ. (Acts 2:41-47).
4. Giving– We want our people to give their time, treasures, and talents to God. (2 Corinthians 9:6-14)
