About Us

Welcome!

Since it began in 2005, Esperanza has grown so much! In 2019 Esperanza merged with First Baptist and became Esperanza First. We have seen God do amazing things in our town through us, as well as other local churches. Here at Esperanza First we have a passion for missions! Esperanza First strives to be a center for impacting Del Rio and beyond with the Gospel of Christ. We are a diverse group of believers from all different ethnicities, backgrounds, and walks of life, united in our faith. We are a contemporary church with conservative values; a blend of cultures in the Truth of God.

What

We

Believe

About the Bible

We believe the 66 canonical books of the Bible are the inspired Word of God. They are without error in the original manuscript. The Bible is the basis for all matters of faith and practice.

About God

There is one living, true, eternal God. He is the uncreated creator who spoke all things into existence. He exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

About Jesus Christ

Jesus is eternal God in the person of the Son. He was begotten of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, is fully God, and fully man.

About the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Triune God. Convicts the world of sin. He guides, regenerates, and gives gifts to believers.

About Man

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that he sinned resulting in physical and spiritual death; all men are therefore sinners by birth and by practice.

About Salvation

We believe salvation comes by grace, through faith alone, in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross and cannot be lost.
