About Selma Baptist
Selma Baptist Church (SBC) is a vibrant part of the Selma community. The Church has been a part of life in Selma since 1872, and has occupied three geographical locations . . . although the vision and purpose of the Church has never changed. What is that simple vision? It is to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known.
Our philosophy of ministry is that Selma Baptist Church exists to bring glory to God and to exault Christ preeminently in her assembly and in the individual lives of her members.
According to Ephesians 1:3-14, the believer is called to fulfill a cause greater than himself, namely, the glory of God. Thus each individual member is exhorted to fulfill this cause through walking the path of obedience as prescribed by God. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10). We also must forsake all human philosophies, traditions and teachings in order to exalt the Supreme God of all and to allow theocentricity (God-centeredness) to drive the lives of our members.
We have coined a term for this here at SBC and it is the 3E Initiative; this initiative serves as the Means to Achieving the Purpose of Glorifying God through the ministries of edification, evangelism, exaltation and equipping.
