Welcome to the North Addison Baptist Church website! I hope you will find here information that will help you to discover what you want to know about us and make it easy for you to decide to come and check us out in person.
For my part as Senior Pastor, here is my primary hope for this group of Jesus followers: that we would faithfully gather to worship God, serve one another, bring others to faith, share life together, and grow up as followers of Jesus. This includes going and sending into our neighborhoods and around the world in order to share the story of Jesus with the people of every nation, tribe, and tongue.
I'm not unique or original among pastors. I want our church to be focused on obeying the Great Commands and practicing the Great Commission. The Great Commands are found in Matthew 22:37-40, where the religious leaders tested Jesus: “Teacher, which command in the Law is the greatest?” Jesus answered, “Love the Lord your God with all you heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.” These two commands bring the Ten Commandments given through Moses into laser focus.
Then, the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 is the clearest instruction we have directly from Jesus. “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Following these words of Jesus, it is my greatest hope that you will find us:
-
passionate God lovers and worshiping Him with our whole lives
-
servants who care for others in Jesus name
-
faithful to help others to believe in and know Jesus Christ
-
family which loves sharing life together
-
obedient children of God, growing up as followers of Jesus.
I hope you find what you need as you look through the pages on our website! And please accept my invitation to know and worship God and grow with us!
Blessings!
Pastor Steve
