Why we exist as a Local Church
Since we exist by the grace of God alone, the chief purpose of Providence Reformed Baptist Church is to glorify God and exalt Jesus Christ as the sovereign King of heaven and earth, the Head of the Church, and the only Savior for sinful man (Matt. 28:18; Rom. 14:8-9; 1 Cor. 10:31; 1 Tim. 1:15; 6:15-16; Tit. 3:4-7) .
Our further purpose is to expound God’s Word as the sole rule and standard by which we believe, worship, minister, and conduct our lives both privately and publicly (2 Tim. 3:16-4:2).
We also purpose to edify the church through teaching, fellowship, prayer, and administering the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Matt. 28:19; Acts 2:42); to equip the saints for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:11-12); and to endeavor to reach others for Jesus Christ in our immediate and general vicinity and to engage in world-wide evangelistic and missionary labor (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; 20:18-35; 1 Cor. 2:2).
