All ABOUT
LAKERIDGE BAPTIST
OUR STORY
Our church has been a fixture in the LakeRidge area of Lubbock since the mid-70s. Before the LakeRidge community existed, we started meeting in this area as Southwest Baptist Church.
We believe that God sent us to this area to help people who are far from Him to find and follow Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to show the love of Jesus to all people, that they may know Him, and grow to become like Him.
Our vision is be a family of devoted followers of Jesus Christ, united to help those who are far from God become flourishing disciples of Jesus on the west plains of Texas and around the world.
BELIEFS
OUR
-
There is one living and true God, the Creator of the universe, revealed in the unity of the Godhead as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Exodus 15:11; Isaiah 45:11; Matthew 28:19).
-
The Scriptures are God’s inerrant, divinely inspired revelation which provide the standard for the believer’s faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
-
God created all things for His own glory (Genesis 1; Colossians 1:16).
-
Satan is a person who, with his demons, opposes all that is true and godly (John 8:44; 1 Peter 5:8).
-
Although created in the image of God, man fell through sin and that sin nature has been transmitted to every member of the human race leaving each one unchangeably depraved apart from divine grace (Romans 3:23).
-
Salvation is the work of God based wholly on His grace and received through faith in Jesus Christ. Through the death and blood of Jesus, God forgives sinners, frees them from condemnation, and gives them full assurance of future glorification (Ephesians 2:8, 9; I Timothy 2:4-6; Romans 3:24-26).
-
All believers are eternally secure in Jesus Christ (John 10:24-30; Romans 8:35-39).
-
A New Testament church is a local congregation of baptized believers acknowledging Jesus as her only Head. Jesus instituted His church during His personal ministry on earth and will perpetuate it until His return (Matthew 16:18; 28:20).
-
Our risen Lord will return personally in bodily form to receive His redeemed unto Himself. All of the dead will be raised in order: the righteous dead in “the resurrection of life” and the wicked dead in “the resurrection of damnation.” Heaven is the eternal home of the redeemed and hell is the place of eternal punishment for the devil, his angels, and the unredeemed. (I Thessalonians 4:13-17; John 5:24-29; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10-15).

OUR PURPOSE
We exist to worship God, make disciples, and live on mission.
Our ministry reflects our purpose. We program our schedule so that Sunday morning is when we fulfill our purpose for worship, Sunday night is for discipleship, Wednesday (and through the week) is for living out our mission.
