About Us
At Fort Lewis Baptist Church, we offer weekly worship services that are open to everyone.
Our services are relaxed and welcoming, and we strive to create an atmosphere of love and acceptance. We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship, and to learn more about the teachings of Jesus.

Our Beliefs
We belief the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical truths.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Jesus
God has revealed Himself to us through his Son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God. Jesus loves you more than you can possibly imagine and is the only hope you have to be saved from your sin.
Humanity and Sin
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. However, we have been distorted and corrupted by sin. Humanity's sin broke creation, infected all of us with sinful DNA, and caused a separation between a perfect, holy God and imperfect, sinful humanity ever since.
Salvation
Salvation is not about what you do- it's about what Jesus did. Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our rebellious transgressions. God raised Jesus from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
