Our Mission & Vision

We believe that "Faith comes through what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached Word of Christ" (Romans 10:17 NET), and yet acknowledge that we must "be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves" (James 1:22 ESV). Therefore, we respond by "going out and making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all He has commanded" (Matthew 28:19-20a NET).

Our Mission

To reflect our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, in our internal and external communities by creating an identity of fellowship in which Christian brothers and sisters live a life in preparation for Jesus' return.

Our Vision

We adhere to the final command of Jesus given in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28, and become a disciple making people who strive to lead a Kingdom building initiative in Galveston County.

Our History

Galveston County Church was established when two existing sister churches, First Baptist Church Hitchcock (1945) and Galveston Church (2018) merged together by covenant in November 2020. Both before and after the church merger our convictions have remained Baptist in their distinctives. We are in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. We remain an autonomous local church under the authority of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
