First Southern Baptist Church of Augusta

PURPOSE & BELIEFS

GOD

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. To him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

WHAT WE DO

Make transformed disciples who: Connect, Grow, Serve and Go.

OUR COMMUNITY

"Who is the Church?" 

"WE ARE!" 

First Southern is so much more than a building. It is made up of the living breathing believers.

JESUS CHIRST

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Born of the Holy Spirit and Mary, a virgin, God and man at the same time, Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross.

He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5 & 14:10- 30; Hebrews 4:14-15; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13

SALVATION

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, sanctification, and glorification.

Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6 & 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

Cale Magruder has been leading the First Southern Baptist Church in Augusta, Kansas, since 2010. If you've ever heard Cale speak, you know that God has given him a remarkable way of communicating life-changing truth on a practical level.
