As a congregation and as individuals since 1887, First Baptist Church of Redlands has sought to express the fullness of God’s love in both word and deed. We do not claim to be perfect, but we believe that even in our imperfections, God’s love and grace can make a difference in our lives and world. Jesus shares the good news that God accepts us where we are and helps us to grow and thrive as God’s children. We do not believe that everyone needs to agree on every matter of faith and practice. Differences need not divide, but enrich, challenge, and affirm. We are united in our confidence that God desires to empower us in service as we commit ourselves to grow in Christ’s love and grace.
