Who we are
Darlington Baptist Church, also known as DBC, is a vibrant community of believers dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Our focus is on PRAY, LOVE, SERVE. We are committed to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and the community as a whole. At DBC, we value every individual's spiritual journey and aim to provide a welcoming environment for everyone.
What we believe
Our beliefs align with mainstream Christianity and can be summarized as follows: Humanity's willful disobedience and neglect of God have caused separation from Him, leading to profound consequences for individuals and all of humanity. In His love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to offer forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration through His death on the cross. Jesus is the human face of God, revealing His nature and character. By believing in Jesus and His sacrifice, we can experience reconciliation with God and the blessings that come with it. As followers of Christ, we are called to live according to His teachings and strive to make the world a better place. At the end of our earthly lives, we believe we will live with God forever. As a local Baptist Church, we practice Believers’ Baptism as a declaration of faith.
