What We Believe

At FBC Merkel we affirm the Holy Spirit as the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs. Fbc Merkel subscribes to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000.  We voluntarily band together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind.  The ordinances of the church are believers baptism and the Lord's Supper.
