“Baptist churches, associations, and general bodies have adopted confessions of faith as a witness to the world, and as instruments of doctrinal accountability. We are not embarrassed to state before the world that these are doctrines we hold precious and as essential to the Baptist tradition of faith and practice.” Baptist Faith & Message Study Committee, 2000.

We seek to reach those in our surrounding area who are not yet followers of Christ and believe the church (global) exists to make committed followers of Jesus Christ (Matt 28:18-20).
LaFayette First seeks to be a family of Christ-followers who love, live, and lead.
Here at LaFayette First, our mission is simple: We are a family of Christ-Followers who love, live, and lead. You may wonder what that looks like for you practically, so here is our mission put into action in what we call the “Pathway to Christlikeness.”
