FBC Mart is a historic church, founded in 1878, with a long-standing presence in its community. Its mission centers on three core values: loving God, loving people, and growing disciples. These principles guide everything the church does, from worship and teaching to outreach and service.

The church emphasizes passionate and consistent worship, grounded in the Bible, with a focus on prayer, teaching, and praise. It is known for being welcoming and people-focused, inviting everyone to participate in its ministries and community life.

A key part of its mission is fulfilling Jesus’ command to make disciples. FBC Mart actively supports missions at the local, national, and global levels through training and financial support, and encourages spiritual growth and service among its members, including youth who feel called to ministry.

In practice, the church seeks to live out its faith by:

• Loving God through worship, obedience, sharing the gospel, and serving others.
• Loving people by meeting them where they are, offering compassion, forgiveness, and hope through Jesus Christ.
• Growing disciples by sharing the gospel, helping others come to faith, and teaching them how to live a committed Christian life.

The church’s beliefs align with the Baptist Faith and Message (2000) of the Southern Baptist Convention. Core beliefs include one God in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit); salvation through Jesus Christ alone; the authority and truth of the Bible; the sinful nature of humanity and need for salvation; the work of the Holy Spirit in believers; and the promise of Christ’s return. They also believe that good works do not earn salvation but are a natural result of genuine faith.

The 2000 Baptist Faith and Message of the Southern Baptist Convention represents our church’s collective understanding of Scripture. We embrace the Basic Beliefs of The Baptist Faith and Message.
