Welcome
Sunday service starts at 11:00 am, Sunday School precedes it at 9:45.
Adult Sunday School takes place in the breezeway across from the sanctuary, and the youth Sunday School (ages 12-18) takes place in the Willcox Christian School.
At FBC, our mission is to “make disciples from here to the ends of the Earth.” We believe that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16) and that it’s essential for us to share this Good News with the world.
To accomplish our mission, we focus on seven qualities that were present in the early church:
-
Maturing in the Word: We believe a deep understanding of God’s Word is essential for spiritual growth.
-
Making Supplication: We value prayer as a powerful tool for connecting with God and seeking His will.
-
Meaningful Fellowship: We strive to create a community where believers can support and encourage one another.
-
Miracles Performed: We believe in God’s supernatural power and witness His miracles in our lives and in the world.
-
Ministry in the Body: We encourage all members to use their gifts and talents to serve the church and the community.
-
Magnifying God: We seek to glorify God in all we do and to point others to Him.
-
Missions, Disciple-Making, and Evangelism: We believe that making disciples who make disciples is the core of our mission.

Our church is consistently looking to grow in outreach and opportunity for connection. Because of this, we have a variety of ways you can become further connected to the church community. We have adult and youth Sunday school every Sunday morning starting at 9:45, followed by a worship service at 11:00. We also feature a ladies' Bible study on Mondays at 6:00 pm, and a young adult's group on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. We also feature occasional family fun days on the playground of the Willcox Christian School. All of these activities are posted on the church website's calendar. We would love for you to get connected and we want to know you better!
STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of
God revealing the love of God to the world.
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6.
3. We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His
sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His
shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the
right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11, Acts 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1
Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11;
Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15.
4. We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of
God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation
of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in
regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we believe that God will
reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish
the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell.
Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11;
Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7.
5. We believe the only ordinances of the New Testament Church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Respecting baptism, baptism by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is a public declaration of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our crucified, buried and risen Savior. Respecting the Lord’s Supper, the bread and the cup are taken as a memorial, symbolic of the broken body and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; a proclamation of the Lord’s death to be observed until He comes again. Only true believers in Jesus Christ are to participate in the Lord’s Supper.
Mark 1:5, 10; John 3:23; Acts 8:36-39; Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34
6. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10.
7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15.
8. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.
1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23.
9. We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation, only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15.
10. We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person biological male or female. These two distinct but complementary sexes together reflect the image and likeness of God. Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of God’s merciful design and creative order.
Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Deuteronomy 22:10.
11. We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage and that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made for each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.
Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9.
12. We believe that human life is sacred from conception to its natural end; and that we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.
Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10
13. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives. Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15.
