What we believe
- Scripture: We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God-breathed, bearing His full authority and being without error or falsehood, and that they are unable to lead us astray if we approach them as humble students seeking to understand them as God intended them to be understood.
- God: We believe in one God, subsisting of three persons- the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, being of one essence, one nature, one will, and all one eternal God.
- Christ and the Gospel: We believe that all are born into sin after Adam and Eve sinned and deserve God's punishment because of both that birth into sin and because of our own sins. We believe that salvation is through by grace alone (which is a gift from God, not a work of man), through faith alone (we add no works to our salvation, neither can our sin take it away for even a moment), in Christ alone (there is no other path to salvation.
- Church and discipleship: We believe that local churches and the global Church (the spiritual body of Christ) are God's instruments for evangelism and discipleship, which He established through Jesus in accordance with the Scriptures, to do His work to the ends of the earth.
- Mission: We believe that the mission of God is the mission of the Church- the go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that He has commanded. This mission becomes the mission and duty of every Christian and will not be completed until the last of God's elect children are brought to faith by His work of regeneration in their heart.
- Confessional We believe that the Scriptures are the first, highest, and final authority in faith, life, and truth, and that no document may ever take their place or stand in authority over them. We acknowledge some creeds, confessions, and catechisms as helpful tools for understanding God's Word and use them in our teaching and lives accordingly. For a general summary of what we believe to be truly taught in God's Word, you may refer to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith as found here: https://www.the1689confession.com
