What We Believe
These basic doctrines represent what we believe to be core elements of biblical teaching. An expanded document of what we believe can be found in the Baptist Faith & Message (2000).
God
We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
Revelation
God has made Himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, the Scriptures and creation.
Creation and Providence
We believe that God created the world from nothing and governs all things at all times in all places.
Humanity
We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possesses intrinsic dignity and worth.
Sin
We believe that sin has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation.
Salvation
We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
The Church
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God.
The Resurrection and the Kingdom of God
We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.
