What We Believe

As drawn from the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, we believe:

  • The Bible is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God.

  • God exists eternally in three persons; the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

  • All people are born with a sinful nature and need a Savior.

  • Salvation is God’s plan to redeem sinful people who will repent from their sins, believe in Jesus Christ and commit to follow Him.

  • Heaven and Hell are real: the former a place of eternal rest and reward for Christ-followers; the latter a place of punishment and torment for those who reject Christ.

  • The Church is the Body and Bride of Christ, existing to witness to sinners and disciple Christians.

  • Baptism is by immersion, symbolic of a changed life and is necessary for membership.

  • The Lord’s Supper commemorates Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death.

  • Sunday provides an avenue to obey God’s command for believers to assemble for worship.

  • Evangelism and Missions are commended activities whereby God uses humans to share His message of salvation with those who need a Savior.

  • Stewardship is an act of obedience wherein Christians return to God a portion of their time, talents and treasure.
