East Gardendale Baptist Church welcomes you.  Here you will find a Church that is dedicated to the ideal that all people are loved by God.  We strive to present that thought in our preaching, prayers, and  music.

WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION

Connect people to Christ one-by-one in our worship, our teaching, our preaching, and our service.

OUR VISION

To see Gardendale and the surrounding communities become Christ followers with enthusiasm and purpose.

OUR FOUNDATION

We believe that Bible is the inerrant Word of God

ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible, authoritative, and relevant in all matters of faith and practice.
ABOUT GOD
We believe in one true God, who exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully and equally God, possessing all of the Divine nature and attributes, and is worthy of our worship and service.
ABOUT HUMANITY
We believe that humanity was created in the image of God but, through sin, was alienated from God, thus incurring both physical and spiritual death. We are now totally unable to save ourselves from God’s wrath, except by way of God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.
ABOUT SALVATION
We believe that Jesus Christ became flesh to reveal God to man, and through His perfect life and sacrificial death, atoned for the sins of humanity, alone, for salvation. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as a sufficient payment for their sins.
ABOUT BAPTISM
We practice baptism the way Jesus was baptized, by immersion under water. Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, we believe that water baptism is an important step as a proclamation of faith.
ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
We believe that all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily submitting to the Holy Spirit, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Jesus and His Lordship in their life.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted, by faith, the finished work of Jesus. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
ABOUT COMMUNION
We practice receiving Communion as an act of remembering what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us on the cross.
