We're a community committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to the Bible as God's perfect Word, to each other in real friendship, and to our neighborhood. God made humanity in his image to be in relationship with him. All was very good, but then we sinned against him. We disobeyed his rules and have continually rebelled against him by ignoring him in the way we live our lives. We deserve punis
hment: death, and even the wrath of God in Hell. However, in his great love, God sent his Son Jesus as Lord and Savior to rescue his people from all their enemies: Satan, death, and most importantly their own sin. This is how he did it. Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose again from the dead. At the cross, Jesus fulfilled the law and took on himself the punishment for the sins of the world. The resurrection proved that God accepted his sacrifice as enough to cover the entire wrath of God for all our sins. How can we participate in Jesus' victory? God now calls us to trust in Jesus Christ alone for our forgiveness and repent of our sins. If we repent and believe in Christ, we are now in Jesus and given eternal life, which starts now! The Holy Spirit makes us a new creation, empowering us to live a new life, characterized by faith and hope, righteousness and justice, mercy and love. Here, at Beloit Road Baptist Church, we confess that we are totally incapable of earning God's favor or forgiveness, and that Jesus is our only hope in life and death. We believe in Jesus as our Savior, follow him as our Lord, and delight in him as our supreme Treasure. We invite you to make our story your story as we grow in knowing, serving, and treasuring Jesus together. We don't clean ourselves up to go to God; we go to God to get ourselves cleaned up. Please come, just as you are, and experience the joy we have found in Jesus Christ.
