Seeking to Give a Right View of God
Ephesians 3:21 says “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.” God wants the church to give glory to God. The
church is to give a right view of God. We are striving to fulfill that goal at Winkler Road
Baptist Church.
We believe that everyone’s greatest need is this right view of God. If a person
doesn’t have a right view of God, they cannot go to heaven. If a person doesn’t have a
right view of God, they won’t live a life that pleases God.
If you are desiring to have a right view of God, we encourage you to come and visit
with us. We are striving to give a right view of God through constant study of the Word
of God. The Bible is the true source for a right view of God, and it is our rule of faith and
practice. Bible study is the core of every service. We also try to give a right view of God
through our traditional worship. We love the message and depth of the great hymns of
the faith.
We are often told that our church is very warm and friendly. This too gives a right
view of our loving God.
Come and join us as we seek to have a right view of God and reflect that view to
others.
