Who
We Are
Preamble
to our Church Constitution
We,
being born-again and Bible-believing Christians by faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ; believing the Bible to be the divinely inspired
and authoritative Word of God and final authority for all Christian
faith and practice; accepting the historic Baptist distinctives;
in the interests of growth in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ
through worship and work; and that we might fulfill our responsibilities
to propagate the Word of God both at home and abroad; and to contend
earnestly for the faith (Jude 1:3); and that "all things
might be done decently and in order" (I Corinthians 14:40);
we do, therefore, band ourselves together as a body of immersed
believers in Jesus Christ and hereby adopt the following constitution
as the statement of our faith and principles for the government
of our local church.
Purpose
The purpose
of this church shall be to accomplish the will of the Lord Jesus
Christ through the uniting of Christians in fellowship faithful
to the Word of God, through the preaching of the whole counsel
of God through Christian education, for spiritual edification
of saints, the winning of lost sinners to Christ, the propagation
of the gospel both at home and abroad, and for the observance
of the ordinances.
Leadership
Gene McCubbin, Pastor (e-mail)
Gene was born on Mother's day in 1942 in his grandparent's farm
home near Fulton, Missouri. As a child, he attended church with
his cousins and was baptized at the age of 12. After Fulton High
School graduation, he worked for an insurance company, and through
the witness of an associate at work, he found that although he
was a baptized church member, he was not a Christian.
He
accepted Christ as his Savior at work which resulted in a changed
life. His education includes Bob Jones University, Greenville,
S.C., University of Missouri at Columbia, and Central Baptist
Seminary in Minneapolis. He pastored the Calvary Baptist Church
of Granada, Mn. Then God called him to begin a new church (Faith
Baptist) in Columbia, Mo. The church began with eight members
and grew to a self-supporting ministry with an acreage, new building,
a bus ministry and a Christian School. He is happily married to
Norma Benedict of Columbia since 1966. God has given them two
sons, now married, and currently serving the Lord as police officers,
and two grandchildren.
