Brookside Baptist Mission Statement:
We are dedicated to Building Better Christians by Becoming Better Connected to God and One Another in Fulfillment of the Great Commission and Commandment of Jesus Christ. We seek to fulfill this Mission through our Worship, Bible Study, Fellowship and Helping Others. It is our desire to “Walk in the Light as He is in the Light and have Fellowship one with the other and the Blood of Jesus Christ Cleanses us from ALL sin.” (1 John 1: 7)
We seek to Build Better Christians by Becoming Better Connected to God and One Another as Individual Ministers Praying and Caring Together (IMPACT) who are committed to Connecting To Jesus Christ and Others, Partnering with Jesus Christ by the power of His Holy Spirit to help others in need of know His love and grace, and Responding to God and others through faith in trusting the Lord to use us as His people helping others become better connected to God’s grace and love through His loving kindness by developing our “CPR“ Plan of Action.
We seek to implement the means to fulfill this Mission through our Family IMPACT Teams (FIT).
