What We Believe
Our beliefs are grounded in the Gospel and guide our mission to glorify God, make disciples, and live sent. These core beliefs, based on the Bible, shape all our teaching and ministry. As we follow God's call to fulfill the Great Commission through worship, discipleship, evangelism, ministry, and fellowship, Eastview will grow in faith and number, expanding ministries and advancing the cause of Christ.
About the Bible
The Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God. As such, it is the authoritative standard by which we judge our conduct, beliefs, and opinions.
About Sin
God created mankind, with an immortal soul and moral choice. By his free choice, Adam – the first man, sinned against God and brought sin and death to the entire human race.
About Salvation
Convicted and drawn by the Holy Spirit, genuine saving faith occurs when in response to the Holy Spirit, a person repents of their sin and places their faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Faith begins with repentance, leads to a life of obedience, and culminates in eternal fellowship with God.
About God
God is the creator of all things. He exists in three distinct persons, equal in deity, unified in substance. In all things, He is sovereign, holy, and good.
About Jesus
Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect sinless life, died an atoning death on the cross, was bodily resurrected, ascended into heaven, and will return in power and glory to judge the world and finish His redemptive mission on Earth.
About the Christian Life
At the moment of salvation, a believer is permanently indwelled by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables every believer to live a life fully consecrated to God, led by the Spirit, and becoming progressively more like Christ. Eastview Baptist Church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention on June 14, 2000.
Our Team
Dr. Stan Budd is the Senior Pastor of Eastview Baptist Church, a church plant in the Swansboro-Hubert area. Stan grew up in a Christian home outside of Daytona Beach, Florida, where he came to Christ at an early age. His fondest memories of growing up were those of playing sports and of his close-knit family serving together in the church. Upon graduation from high school, Stan accepted a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship to Auburn University, and upon completion was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant into the United Stated Marine Corps. After a successful 22-year active duty career, and another five as a civilian employee, he and his wife, Tammy, were called into full time ministry to fulfill
their passion for marriage and family ministry for several years with FamilyLife. Ordained into gospel ministry in 2016, Stan has been fortunate to weave his education and career experience using God’s Word in helping couples renew, reaffirm, and often rebuild marriages through counseling and marriage events. Stan has a growing burden to disciple and mentor a generation of believers who will carry Christianity through possibly its most challenging days and lead others to salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pastor Stan holds a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling: focused of Marriage and Family, from Liberty University and a Doctorate of Ministry in Guiding Laypersons to Caring for Military Members Desiring Post Traumatic Growth from Southeastern Biblical Theological Seminary. He serves on the board for Hope First Pregnancy Center after many years of serving as the director of the Fatherhood program. His proudest accomplishments are that he and Tammy have been married for 35 years and have 3 grown children--Stephen, Matthew, and Kelly Beth, and all are using their gifts and talents to serve Christ in their workplaces and homes. Stan and Tammy have six grandchildren: five girls ages 4 and under, and a
grandson who’s 10.
