In the gospel we meet a God who has acted decisively in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus to redeem and restore people to Himself. Jesus lives the life we could not live, dies the death that we deserve to die, and is raised from the dead and revealed to be the King over all creation. This was no arbitrary event in history; it is the decisive moment. The gospel tells the whole story of Biblical history and how God has acted decisively in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus to redeem the world for His glory. Preaching the gospel means showing how Jesus is the fulfillment and goal of every biblical text. We embrace a fundamentally evangelical and reformed identity and are thus in agreement with historic confessions such as the Nicene Creed, the Second London Baptist Confession, and the Heidelberg Catechism, as well as the affirmations and denials set forth by Together for the Gospel. Our confessional statement is adapted from the foundational documents of the Gospel Coalition (www.thegospelcoalition.org). The mission of the universal Church is to glorify God by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s mission and the mission of His Church are inseparably linked. If God’s mission is to be glorified through the redemption and reconciliation of a people, the Church’s mission must orient around the glory of God and seek to glorify Him through redemption and reconciliation. Church can be an intimidating place to visit — especially if you don’t know what to expect. We invite you to experience what the gospel means both intellectually and relationally at one of our Sunday worship services. You can engage with others as much as you want, or remain anonymous if you prefer. We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love and joy that comes from a community of people who love Jesus. All Contents copyright First Baptist Church of Iva.

We currently have 3 campuses available to you, and would love for you to come and visit us on a Sunday morning for one of our services. Check the locations below to see which is closest to you. Our Downtown Campus meets every Sunday at Denver Prep. This is our first location and the hub for all the campuses around Denver. Our founding Pastor is the primary teacher at this location, and we have 2 meeting times for you to choose from each Sunday. Come and join us! Chris Dennison leads this campus in South Denver, where each week, Chris teaches from Scripture. Our South Campus meets for one 10:00am service at the Community Center - right next to the University. Associate Pastor Colton Marsh leads this contemporary worship experience, geared to the young adults in our congregation. If you're looking for a place to meditate, reflect and enjoy fellowship before starting the work week, check out our Sunday night service.  We know that attending a church service for the first time can be a super scary thing... Being unsure of what the dress, culture or even when to stand up and sit down can be a weirdly paralyzing thought! At Aurora, you can expect friendly and authentic people, engaging and relevant music and worship, compelling preaching from the Bible, and an opportunity to encounter God. You will be encouraged and maybe even challenged.

God's word makes it clear that it's our job to share the love of Christ with people we see every day, and this mission not only impacts those we serve, but it is a pathway to spiritual transformation in our own lives.  There are so many ways to serve locally through Aurora, as well as getting involved in global efforts to spread the Gospel of Christ. Whether you feel called to Denver or another continent, we want to empower you to do the work God has called you to. Get involved today! Donating your time is not the only way to serve at Aurora. There are recurring costs to operating and staffing our ministry, as well as helping us do work throughout our community and the world. We believe that God calls us to give, and to give generously. We give you a chance to worship in this way on our website. As Jesus left this world, his parting words to his disciples were: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." We challenge you to be willing to serve and make disciples with us. Our cross cultural missions program wants to train and send people on short-term trips to assist our established missionaries and provide a way for individuals to determine God’s leading for their lives in the realm of long-term ministry in a cross-cultural  and globally-minded setting. In addition to church-planting roles and gifts such as teaching, worship, discipleship and administration, we also want to encourage a vocation-based approach to serving. If you are interested please connect with us. We’d love to invite you to join us as we seek to extend a loving hand to everyone in and around our neighborhood. If you'd like to get involved, please contact us today! This team engages our guests and helps create a welcoming and safe culture at our worship service. This behind the scenes team helps to make sure that everything from chairs to connect cards are placed in the right place at the right time. We exist to bring glory to God by making disciples through gospel-centered worship, gospel-centered community, gospel-centered service and gospel-centered multiplication. This is our process for discipleship. Out of this gospel-centered service is the overflow of discipleship, serving those in and outside the church. One of the ways we pursue and live out this discipleship trait is through volunteer opportunities. Our Sunday morning gatherings are the beginning for most people at Aurora. We need people who can serve as set-up and greeters, as well as members of the worship team. Connect Groups are so central to the life here at Aurora during our weekend services. We are always in need of more people to host, lead and co-lead a group. All Contents copyright First Baptist Church of Iva.

It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation. There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. God is all powerful and all knowing; and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being. God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all wise. God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He is fatherly in His attitude toward all men. Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature with its demands and necessities and identifying Himself completely with mankind yet without sin. He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world and to consummate His redemptive mission. He now dwells in all believers as the living and ever present Lord. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Savior, and effects regeneration. At the moment of regeneration He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ. He cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His church. He seals the believer unto the day of final redemption. His presence in the Christian is the guarantee that God will bring the believer into the fullness of the stature of Christ. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service. Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God’s creation. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Through the temptation of Satan man transgressed the command of God, and fell from his original innocence whereby his posterity inherit a nature and an environment inclined toward sin. Therefore, as soon as they are capable of moral action, they become transgressors and are under condemnation. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. **A**. Regeneration, or the new birth, is a work of God’s grace whereby believers become new creatures in Christ Jesus. It is a change of heart wrought by the Holy Spirit through conviction of sin, to which the sinner responds in repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are inseparable experiences of grace. Repentance is a genuine turning from sin toward God. Faith is the acceptance of Jesus Christ and commitment of the entire personality to Him as Lord and Savior. **B**. Justification is God’s gracious and full acquittal upon principles of His righteousness of all sinners who repent and believe in Christ. Justification brings the believer unto a relationship of peace and favor with God. **C**. Sanctification is the experience, beginning in regeneration, by which the believer is set apart to God’s purposes, and is enabled to progress toward moral and spiritual maturity through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him. Growth in grace should continue throughout the regenerate person’s life. **D**. Glorification is the culmination of salvation and is the final blessed and abiding state of the redeemed. A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel; observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its two scriptural offices are that of pastor/elder/overseer and deacon. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor/elder/overseer is limited to men as qualified by Scripture. The New Testament speaks also of the church as the Body of Christ which includes all of the redeemed of all the ages, believers from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation. Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony to his faith in the final resurrection of the dead. Being a church ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and the fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church and to provide for the man and the woman in marriage the framework for intimate companionship, the channel of sexual expression according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race. The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. A husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. He has the God-given responsibility to provide for, to protect, and to lead his family. A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation. Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. Parents are to demonstrate to their children God’s pattern for marriage. Parents are to teach their children spiritual and moral values and to lead them, through consistent lifestyle example and loving discipline, to make choices based on biblical truth. Children are to honor and obey their parents. **All of the above was taken from the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 which can be found** [**here**](https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/#xi)**.** **All of our ministries at First Baptist Church of Iva align with the teachings of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.** All Contents copyright First Baptist Church of Iva.

The church is not a man-made institution, but one that is mandated by God, as revealed in His Word. We meet together for worship each week and recognize that we are God's people assembling under His direction and leadership. We receive His instruction, from His word, preached by His servant, our pastor. It is our desire at First Baptist Church to glorify God by discipleship and equipping those who know Him and sharing the good news of the Gospel to those who do not yet know Him! First Baptist Church is a multi-generational church so no matter your age, you will find people in your same season of life. Please feel free to come as you are. We have some who dress in suit and tie and some who dress in shorts and T-shirt and every style in between. We have childcare available and Bible study following the worship service.

Each week, students gather for engaging Bible teaching, meaningful small group discipleship, and fun opportunities to connect with one another. Our heartbeat is simple: the Word of God, fellowship, and discipleship. We believe God’s Word changes lives, community strengthens faith, and discipleship shapes the next generation. Whether it’s a weekly gathering, a mission trip, or a fun event, our desire is to create a space where students feel welcomed, encouraged, and challenged to take the next step in their walk with Christ. Parents can feel confident knowing our ministry is led by caring adults who are committed to pointing students toward Jesus and walking with them as they navigate these important years.

The answer is no. Worship cannot be manufactured by a song, a style, or even the most talented musician. True worship is a response of the heart—it is something only God Himself stirs within us. That being said, the role of a worship leader is to create an environment that points people to Jesus and encourages them to lift their hearts to Him. At First Baptist Iva, our desire is not to entertain, but to glorify Christ and help believers see Him more clearly. We offer a blended service with both contemporary songs and timeless hymns, using music as a catalyst to draw our hearts toward God. But at the center of it all, worship is not about us—it’s about Him. Our aim is simple: to lead our church family into the kind of worship that honors God and transforms lives.
