First Baptist Church Norwalk

Who We Are

---

Our Church

First Baptist Church of Norwalk (FBCN) was established under the name Calvary Baptist Church in 1946. Since then it has ebbed and flowed with time, but has been committed to preaching the Gospel, which is the Bible in its fullness, to the local community and around the World.

Biblical Preaching

Every week the message is an exposition of the meaning of a given portion of a book from the Bible. Over the course of many weeks, every single word of the book is read, explained, and applied through engaging, thoughtful, theological, and relevant preaching.

Biblical Membership

Becoming a member of FBCN takes some effort. Any Baptized Christian can commit to becoming a member by:

1. Filling out an application
2. Taking the 4 Membership classes
3. Being interviewed by a pastor

Being a member means

• Having a vote at member meetings to help direct church business
• The potential ability to serve as a teacher, elder, deacon, or usher.
• Being under the care of the church for spiritual and physical needs

Discipleship

Each member of the church can count on mentoring, counseling, and guidance in matters of conscience, work, family and spirituality.

Fellowship

FBCN seeks to cultivate a culture of friendship and brotherhood. Meals together, game nights, and other activities provide opportunities for meaningful and healthy relationships.

Evangelism

In accordance with Matthew 28:18-20, FBCN is dedicated to communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our neighbors, family and friends.

What We Believe

Baptist Faith and Message 2000

Confessions

While FBCN is a Southern Baptist Church whose sole binding statement of beliefs is the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, we are deeply indebted to the Historic Confessions below and hold them in high esteem as faithful articulations of the many doctrinal distinctives we affirm.

• 1689 Second London Baptist Confession
• Apostles’ Creed
• Nicene Creed
• Chalcedonian Creed

We also recommend this helpful catechism to teach each other, strengthen our faith, and provide short memorable answers to a variety of doctrinal questions:

• Truth and Grace Memory Books
