Mission Statement

     The First Haitian Baptist Church is a Christian organization dedicated to excellence in the care and spiritual welfare of its members and the believers in the body of Christ. It seeks to encourage, exhort and edify its members through a full knowledge of the Gospel, and to lead non-believers into having a personal relationship with our Savior Jesus-Christ.

     One of our priorities is to assist in the spiritual development of the members of the church through the implementation of Bible studies, Sunday school programs and other spiritual activities deemed appropriate by the church. The weekly Bible studies are facilitated by the pastor, whereas the Sunday school programs are organized and run by trained Sunday school teachers.

     Another emphasis is to aid in the provision of care to the members in need, and to assist them in their recovery through encouragement and support. To that end, we maintain regular contact with members who may experience some difficulties in their personal lives, either via telephone calls or through personal home visitation. Issues regarding family matters and/or community integration are addressed during such visits.

     Another goal we seek to implement is promoting financial self-sufficiency in church affairs through fund raisings and other means judged appropriate by the church. We organize annually at least two fund raisings for the purpose of meeting our financial objectives. These include addressing out internal needs, as well as supporting two churches overseas. Our finances are handled by church members with a proven experience in financial matters, and chosen by the assembly.

     In order to meet these milestones, and to reach out to nonbelievers in the community, we prayerfully work on facilitating the development and the implementation of an organizational structure in the church so that its various functions can be run optimally. With the Lord’s help, we are slowly but surely making progress on each of these objectives.
