| Our Purpose |
Every independent Baptist church is an autonomous congregation. We are self-governing and self-supporting. The head of
the church is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. It is our desire to be a truly New
Testament church.
At Wilton Baptist Church we have one message-the message of the Lord Jesus Christ, and one ministry-the ministry He
has given us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
It is the purpose of Wilton Baptist Church:
To provide a local, independent church where the Word of God is taught, believed, and practiced.
To fulfil our divine purpose through:
Exaltation—Bring honor and glory to our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
Colossians 1:18 "...that in all things he might have the preeminence."
Evangelization—Winning the lost to Christ at home and abroad
Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Edification—Encouraging and building believers in Christ
Ephesians 4:16 "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth,
according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in
love."
Equipping—Enabling believers to exercise their spiritual gifts for Christ
Ephesians 4:11-12 "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"
“Your main and principle motive as a Christian should always be to live for Christ. To live for glory? Yes, for His glory.
To live for comfort? Yes, but be all your consolation in Him. To live for pleasure? Yes, but when you are merry, sing
psalms, and make melody in your hearts to the Lord. To live for wealth? Yes, but to be rich in faith. You may lay up
treasure, but lay it up in heaven.”
-- Charles H. Spurgeon
