LaRue Baptist is an Elder led congregation. The Elders, including the Pastor, are chosen by the congregation and are tasked with preaching, teaching, and the service of God through the care of the people in his church. Deacons, likewise, are chosen by the congregation and work with the Elders to carry out the daily care of the congregation and community (e.g. mercy ministries).
Our purpose is to worship our grand and glorious God by conforming people to the likeness of Christ by the power of the Spirit, working through his Word.
Our ministries are an extension of that purpose. Learn about our teaching, fellowship, and service ministries.
Learn the basic tenets of our beliefs as a church, summarized in our mission statement and what we refer to as the "Five Solas".
Colossians 2:13-15 (ESV)
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
