Welcome Guests
Welcome…We have been waiting for you! It is our belief that everyone who enters our doors has been prompted by God to attend and has a divine appointment. We hope you know that Jesus loves you. It is our desire to have the world know of the love of Jesus and to experience Him in a mighty and powerful way.
We look forward to meeting you in person. You will find that our church family is kind, friendly, and concerned about the needs of others. We grow closer to Jesus and each other as we worship, learn, and serve together. As we develop a Christ-like attitude, we can meet needs in our community, love others, rejoice in celebrations, and express sorrow in times of despair.
We have a blended style of worship. Sunday morning dress is modest and casual. Sunday School is available for everyone from babies to senior adults.
If you live in Sussex or Worcester County and are looking for a church home where you can make friends and hear God’s Word preached in its entirety, well, you have found a home at Fenwick Island Baptist Church.
Thank you for stopping by and checking us out. We hope that you feel comfortable and welcomed to join us at your earliest convenience.

Statement of Faith
- We believe in one God, eternally existent as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that the Bible, composed of the Old and New Testaments, is God’s inspired and infallible Word and is the supreme standard and final authority for all conduct, faith, and doctrine.
- We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His premillennial, personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that man was created in the image of God, but by willful transgression became sinful and is justly under the condemnation and wrath of Almighty God.
- We believe that the only salvation from this guilt and condemnation is through faith in the righteousness and atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this salvation is the free gift of God’s love and grace.
- We believe in the personality of the Holy Spirit and that His ministry is to reveal Christ to men, to convict sin, to regenerate repentant sinners, and by His presence and power to sanctify the lives of the redeemed.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted the ordinances of baptism and communion; that baptism is only to be administered upon public profession of faith in Christ, by immersion, thereby declaring our faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior; and that communion is only for believers, is to be preceded by faithful self-examination, and is in remembrance of the Lord’s death until He comes.
- We believe that a New Testament Church is a body of believers, baptized by immersion, associated for worship, service, and the spread of the Gospel of the Grace of God to all the world.
- We believe that there will be a resurrection of the just and unjust; the just, having been redeemed by the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, to be with Him throughout eternity in glory; the unjust, having died impenitent and unrecognized to God, to eternal condemnation in Hell.
History of FIBC
On June 8, 2008, Pastor Mike Fillis began his ministry at Fenwick Island Baptist Church. Pastor Mike has preached through 30 books of the Bible with his chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse approach. He has taught through Biblical Doctrines, many thematic Bible studies, and a study in apologetics. The Church approved the revisions to our Constitution & By-Laws in September 2019. This ushered in a reorganization of our church that is aimed at implementing our strategic plan to reach the senior population in our community for Christ. Our goal is to connect with our community, introduce them to Jesus, show them compassion, and to care for their needs.
Know Jesus?
According to the Holy Bible, we all must face the judgment of God when we die. He allows you to make the choice between Heaven and Hell. I trust that after reading this brief note, you will commit your life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
You may ask the question, “Why do I need to do this?” When God created Adam and Eve, He created them as perfect beings. They chose to disobey God. We have all sinned and we deserve death and eternity in Hell. But God is both merciful and just. He made a way for us to escape Hell and eternal separation from Him. Just as Adam and Eve had the ability to make a choice, we also have the choice to accept or reject Christ.
Please read on:
- You must first admit and confess to Christ that you are a sinner. Salvation requires leaving your old sinful life behind and accepting the new life in Christ.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
God commands everyone to repent.
Acts 17:30 “God…commands all men everywhere to repent.”
II Corinthians 7:10 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” - Because of our sin, we deserve to spend eternity in Hell; but, God gave us one way to escape hell and spend eternity with Him.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
This gift is for anyone who accepts Jesus as their Savior.
Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” - About 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ was here on earth to die on the cross and shed his blood to pay for our sins.
Romans 5:8 “…God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - The Bible tells us that we must confess Christ as our personal Savior.
Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
