We are part of the Baptist Union of Poland (Ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 Chrze\u015bcijan Baptyst\u00f3w w RP), which bases its teaching and ministry on the truths of the Holy Scriptures.\nIn 2005, we established a branch of the Second Baptist Church of Wroc\u0142aw here in Opole.\nWe operated in that form until October 4, 2015, when we became an independent congregation: the \u201cSource of Life\u201d Baptist Church in Opole.<\/p>\n

We desire to reach the people of Opole and the surrounding areas with the Gospel, to make them disciples of Jesus, and to follow our Lord together.\nBecause the greatest need of every human being is the forgiveness of their sins.\nAnd that is only possible through repentance and faith (Acts 3:19; 10:43).\n\nRepentance means a change in how we think about God, about ourselves and our sinfulness, and about who Jesus Christ is, what He has done, and what He will do.\nRepentance is the response to the good news of Jesus\u2019 life, death, and resurrection. It is a heartfelt awareness of sin, a hatred of it, and a deep trust in the saving work of Christ on the cross. . .where He redeemed people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation (Revelation 5:9).\n\nJesus gave His life for His Church (Ephesians 5:25), bearing the punishment for our sins (1 John 2:2).\nAnd for those who are in Christ, there is now no condemnation (Romans 8:1).<\/p>\n

We believe it is God\u2019s will for every Christian to be part of a local church, where members build one another up (Ephesians 2:22; 4:15\u201316).\nGod designed the local church to display the truth to the world, for the Word of God calls the church \u201cthe pillar and foundation of the truth\u201d (1 Timothy 3:15).\n\nIt is our desire that both our church and other Christ-centered churches in our city would boldly uphold this truth. . . through both their teaching and the way they live.<\/p>\n

The church is made up of members who confess faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, give evidence of spiritual rebirth through their lives, have been baptized, and affirm our Confession of Faith.\nEvery member has the right to vote during Church Conferences, where the most important decisions are made, including the reception and removal of members, and the appointment or dismissal of leaders.<\/p>\n
