Our Church
At Cape Fear Baptist Church, we believe that God’s love is for everyone. No matter your past, background, or current walk of life, you are welcome here. Rooted in Free Will Baptist faith, our message focuses on the incredible truth that God lets each of us to choose Him freely—and with that choice comes a life full of purpose, joy, and hope. Join us as we walk together in faith, embracing God’s love and the beautiful journey it brings.
Discover the Freedom of Faith
If you’re searching for a place where you can freely choose to follow Christ, be part of a loving community, and grow in faith, we invite you to join us. Here, you’ll find a family that supports and encourages you every step of the way.
Faith Rooted in Freedom
We believe that God created us with the ability to choose. You are not bound by fate or predestination; your relationship with God is built on your own decision to follow Christ. Here, you’ll find a community that respects your personal journey and supports your growth in faith.
Salvation and Growth in Christ
When you choose to trust in Jesus, you begin a life-changing journey of salvation through faith. But the journey doesn’t stop there. We believe in walking with Christ daily and deepening our relationship with Him through prayer, fellowship, and service.
Baptism by Immersion
Baptism is a public declaration of your faith and a beautiful symbol of starting fresh—buried in Christ, raised to new life. We practice baptism by immersion, just as Christ did, and celebrate every step you take toward spiritual renewal.
