Robert Burns, affectionately known as Scotland's national bard, was born in 1759 and became a prolific poet whose works deeply resonate with the themes of love, social equality, and the beauty of rural life in 18th-century Scotland. His diverse body of work includes famous pieces such as "Auld Lang Syne," "Tam o' Shanter," and "To a Mouse," capturing the essence of human emotions and the Scottish identity. Celebrated annually on Burns Night, his enduring legacy inspires gatherings worldwide where people recite his poetry and sing his songs. Burns' masterful use of language and his profound humanity have made him one of the most translated poets, reflecting his influence on literature, music, and culture across the globe.

Humble Area's First Baptist Church is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention which, by the grace of God, is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. More importantly, we are a part of God's universal church made up of believers in the world. Thus, we affirm the fact that there are other devoted Christians who exist in a large number of other denominations. As Baptists, there are certain distinct practices of the faith which we hold dear. Many of these are the same practices that distinguish us from other denominations.WE BELIEVE: The Bible is the Word of God - In accordance with 2 Timothy 3: 16 and 2 Peter 1: 21, the Bible was written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as a supernatural revelation of God. The Scriptures are literally God-breathed and contain no mixture of error. The truth of Scripture and the person of Christ are the foundations of the church and stand in direct opposition to the moral ills of society. Salvation is by Grace Alone - In accordance with Ephesians 2: 8-9, we are saved by God's grace at the point of personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Man is sinful and does not have the ability to save himself, least of all by good works. However, in accordance with James 2: 14-17, our faith will be evidenced by good works, obedience, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5: 22-23 ).
