The following is a brief outline of what we believe as a body of Christians. It includes an explanation of historical Baptist beliefs, as well as beliefs held by most evangelical Christians.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation and eternal life. We believe a personal relationship must be established by each individual by repenting of sin and trusting Christ as Lord and Savior. We do not inherit our Christianity from our parents, nor is it obtained through any association with the church. It is an individual's decision to receive God's grace through faith. Jesus is the focus of everything we do or believe. In the life of every believer, He is the Lord or director of every aspect of life.

The Authority of Scripture for Faith and Practice

We believe the Bible is the absolute authority for the way we practice our faith in moral responsibility, theological beliefs, and relationships with God and our fellow man. The Bible, not the church nor the preacher, has the final say in the way we practice our faith as Christians. At FBC Brewster, we teach that the Bible is the "God-breathed, Word of God." It is perfect truth from cover to cover, and all Scripture in the Old Testament through the New Testament points to Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, the Ultimate Word of God.
