God has given a purpose to First Baptist Church of Brazoria: "to glorify God by enabling believers to become fully committed disciples and equipping them to impact the world with the redeeming love of Jesus Christ". But this purpose cannot be accomplished in our own strength. Our only hope is in the sufficiency and strength that comes from the outpouring of God's Spirit upon us.
