What We Believe

We are a member of the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches (ARBCA) Our doctrinal convictions are in harmony with the Theology of the reformation and summarily contain in the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.

We believe the Bible to be the very Word of God, verbally and wholly inspired so without error as originally given by God; and our only rule for faith and practice.

We believe in one triune God who is spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being.

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, the only begotten of the Father, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died to redeem lost sinners, rose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will return to earth at the end of this age.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity who convicts and regenerates sinners and empowers believers to live godly lives.

We believe that man is by nature and choice a sinful and lost being. Man was created by God perfect but sinned by willful disobedience and is now under the wrath and judgment of God, and has within himself no possible means of salvation.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Because of sin, man is unable and unwilling to please God, but nevertheless, God has chosen some for eternal life-not because of foreseen faith or merit in them-but because of His mercy in Christ. The first evidence of this choice is repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. All truly saved will persevere in the faith for eternity.

We believe that good works are the fruit of faith. All who have been saved will love the law of God and obey it heartily.

We believe that the church is the universal body of true believers over which Christ alone is head. A local assembly is an association of Christians that worship God through the ministry of the Word and the Ordinances.

We believe in the personal visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ at a future time appointed by God the Father.
