We are committed to the historic Christian faith, rooted in the Scriptures and summarized in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. This confession, along with the Baptist Catechism, serves as a faithful guide to understanding and applying God's Word. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, and it is our final authority for all matters of faith and life.
We believe the Bible (Old and New Testaments) is the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and life. It is our supreme authority.
2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three co-equal persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. They are one God, having the same divine nature, attributes, and perfection.
Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, He hears and answers prayer, and He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
1689 LBCF Ch. 2 — Psalm 90:2; Malachi 3:6; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 115:3; Isaiah 46:10; Exodus 34:6-7; Nehemiah 9:32-33
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitutionary atonement for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will return again in glory.
John 1:1, 14; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates those who believe, indwells, empowers, and guides believers into all truth.
John 16:7-15; Titus 3:5; Romans 8:9, 14
We believe that God created man and woman in His own image, but they fell into sin through disobedience. As a result, all humanity is born with a sin nature, is alienated from God, and is under His just condemnation.
Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23; 5:12
We embrace the doctrines of grace, often summarized as:
We believe the church is the body of Christ, composed of all true believers, and is manifested in local congregations. We believe in believer's baptism by immersion and the regular observance of the Lord's Supper (Communion). We believe in the importance of church discipline and the shepherding of believers by qualified elders.
Ephesians 1:22-23; Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:41-42; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Timothy 3; Titus 1
We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead.
Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Revelation 20:11-15
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are saved to eternal life, and those who are lost to eternal punishment.
John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15
We gladly affirm the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith as a comprehensive and accurate summary of biblical teaching.

We also find the Baptist Catechism helpful for instructing believers, especially children, in the foundational truths of the faith.
