What We Believe
At First Baptist Church Tillsonburg, we hold firmly to the truth and authority of the Bible in its entirety. On this page, you’ll find an overview of our Statement of Faith, along with our mission, vision, and church affiliations—designed to give you a clear understanding of who we are and what we believe.
Our convictions are not meant to create division, but to provide a foundation for unity as we follow Christ together. Above all, we desire that love would guide both our beliefs and our conversations about them.
If you have any questions or would like further clarification about anything shared here, we would be glad to connect with you. Please feel free to reach out to our Pastor, at pastor@fbctillsonburg.com.
