Our Beliefs
What We Believe
The First Baptist Church of Vineyard Haven holds firm to the belief in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs. This church recognizes the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts and the American Baptist Churches USA as its parent organizations. We encourage our members to seek spiritual growth through prayer, meditation, and studying the scriptures. It is important to note that our beliefs are centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We welcome everyone to come and explore their faith with us.
Our Mission
Our mission is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and to serve our island community with love, compassion, and understanding.

We believe in the power of community and the impact it can have on transforming lives. Our church is committed to providing spiritual guidance, support, and care to all who seek it.
