About Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana
-
Welcome to the web page of Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana in Indianapolis, Indiana. We believe that baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordained by the Lord Jesus himself - baptism as a symbol of entrance into the body of Christ and the Lord's Supper a regular reminder of the death, resurrection, and return of Christ. Baptism symbolizes the believer's death to sin and new life in Christ. Those baptized are done so in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Together they are simultaneously God's pledge to us, divinely ordained means of grace, our public vows of submission to the once crucified and now resurrected Christ, and anticipations of his return and of the consummation of all things.
We believe that the goal of the faith community is not to make people more religious; instead, we want to help people learn to love God more and therefore become more fully human. At Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana, we believe that we are called to reach out to our neighbors. We want to do this both locally and globally, serving them in ways that make a difference.
