First Baptist Church of Dubuque

The Mission [what we’re doing]

Our mission is to love God, love one another, love those who don’t know Jesus, and to lead them to Him.

The Vision [what we’re becoming]

Our vision is to be a biblically functioning community of believers with a passion for:

Exploring faith

Embracing diversity, and

Encouraging hearts.

The Core Values [what’s our DNA]

Spirit-filled teaching of the Bible is the catalyst for transformation in individual lives [Romans 12.7; 2 Timothy 3.16-17; James 1.23-25].

All people matter to God and therefore they ought to matter to us [Luke 5.30-32; Luke 15; Matthew 18.14].

The local church should be racially and ethnically diverse [Matthew 28.19; Revelation 7.9-10; 1 Corinthians 12.13; Galatians 3.28].

The church is most effective in its ministry of reconciliation when it combines cultural relevance with biblical principles [1 Corinthians 9.19-23].

Excellence honors God and inspires people [Colossians 3.17; Malachi 1.6-14; Proverbs 27.17].
