The Mission Statement of Live Oak Baptist Church

The mission of Live Oak Baptist Church is found in Matthew 28:19-20: To lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Then we seek to see the saved “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” and to equip them by sound biblical teaching and practical application and personal interaction to go out and lead others into a relationship with Christ. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28:19, 20

The (abbreviated) Statement of Faith (what we believe) of Live Oak Baptist Church

  1. We believe in one true and living God, and that there are three persons in the God-head, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Matt. 28:19, John 10:30, Eph. 2:11-18, 2 Cor. 13:14.
  2. We believe the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God, and the only rule of faith and practice.  2 Tim.3:14-17. 2 Peter 1:19-21.
