Statement of Faith
Our declaration of the core beliefs and principles held at East Mt. Zion Baptist Church, outlining our belief in God, scripture, and key doctrines.
We believe that God exists eternally and equally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Giver of all life. (Matthew 28:19; Colossians 2:9)
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is equal with the Father. Because of God’s loving nature, He gave us Jesus, fully human and fully divine, to live a sinless life and become the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people. Jesus was crucified, rose from the dead on the third day, and ascended into heaven, demonstrating His power over sin and death. He will return to reign as King. (Matthew 1:22-23; Romans 1:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 4:14-15)
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and was promised by Jesus. He dwells within every believer from the moment of confession, guiding, empowering, and equipping us for our God-given purpose and mission. (John 14:16-18; Ephesians 5:18; Romans 8:15; Acts 1:8)
Jesus’ final command is our greatest mission—to go into all the world and share the Good News of salvation through Him. As Christ-followers, we are called to proclaim His story and make
disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:19-20)
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to provide clear direction for our relationship with God and one another. Written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it is the ultimate authority for faith, life, and church practice when rightly interpreted within its context and purpose. (Matthew 22:29; 2 Timothy 3:15-16; Romans 15:4)
Discipleship is about intentionally walking with others as they grow in faith. We plant the seed of the Gospel, and through the work of the Holy Spirit, we nurture and cultivate the spiritual growth of new believers. (1 Corinthians 3:6-9)
Salvation is God’s free gift, received by faith in Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension—trusting in Jesus is the only way to experience true reconciliation with God and eternal life. (1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 10:9)

What To Expect
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere:
When you pull into the parking lot, right off the bat you’re greeted with waves and warm smiles by our 1st Touch Committee team that directs traffic in all kinds of weather so you never have to hunt for a parking space, even when the place is packed. Then, you walk through the main entrance, and two or more cheerful greeters are waiting with open arms to hug you.
Engaging and inspiring worship and preaching:
The sanctuary doors swing open 15 minutes before service, and that’s our cue that it’s time to worship. In two words, we praise. Expect energy, expect passion, and expect Holy Spirit to move. The same goes for the message. Be prepared for a Spirit-filled and Spirit-lead worship experience!
Fellowship + Free coffee and tea
From there, you’re directed to our Atrium & Banquet Hall, where you can enjoy fellowship! And sometimes even some coffee, tea, and great music on some occasions!
