Jesus did not create a mission for His church—He created the church for His mission. If you are looking for a place to experience growth and find deep joy in your faith journey, we invite you to explore who we are, what we believe, and how you can join the mission.
Leading People to Trust and Follow Jesus
Our vision is to be the visible presence of Jesus in our community, a healthy and growing family of faith that is passionate about experiencing, enjoying, and expanding God's Presence to every neighbor and every nation.
What does it mean to truly live an Abundant Life in Jesus? It is a life marked by continual growth and a deep, abiding joy in our faith. As the Apostle Paul wrote, our desire is for your “progress and joy in the faith” (Philippians 1:25).
At Prince, we want to see everyone progress towards an Abundant Life in Jesus, and we follow four key rhythms to help make that happen:
A person encounters God’s Presence & Truth. A person’s journey begins when they encounter the presence and truth of God. This can happen through worship services, events, and outreaches.

The Bible describes life within the church as a Partnership. Christians partner together to fulfill the mission of Jesus and hold each other accountable in following Him.

At Prince, we believe that it’s important for every Prince Partner to serve—not only to make everything run smoothly at Prince on Sundays and Wednesdays but also to foster a life of service like Jesus!

When we examine not just the life and ministry of Jesus but the whole revelation of God, we find the theme of God’s desire to reach the nations for Christ.
God's mission won't be complete until His name has reached “every tribe and language and people and nation.” (Revelation 7:9)

Prince Avenue Baptist Church is a community of believers who are committed to leading people to trust and follow Jesus. We are able to pursue this mission because of our congregation’s financial support of the church’s ministries.

The Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. 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. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy.
There is one and only one living and true God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, and all-wise.
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
We believe that man is a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation.
We believe that salvation is a gift received through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
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.
The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby believers remember the death of the Lord Jesus and anticipate His second coming. The bread is symbolic of His body and the juice represents His blood.
It is the duty of every born again follower of Jesus Christ and of every church to endeavor to make disciples of all men everywhere. It is the command of Christ for every believer to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by personal effort and by all other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
