Purpose

Our main purpose is to glorify God. We believe this will happen as our members live consistent Christian lives and as we, as a church, maintain a balanced ministry of corporate worship, evangelism, discipleship, education, and Christian ministries of compassion and service, using the gifted individuals which God has sent to our church.

We are also committed to engage in Christian ministry in our community, our country and around the world through the missionary and relief agencies of our denomination and other agencies that from time to time we agree to support.

Doctrines

We affirm wholeheartedly the revelation of God as given in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the faith therein set forth. We here explicitly assert the doctrines which we regard as crucial to the understanding and proclamation of the Gospel and to practical Christian living:

  • The sovereignty, love, and grace of God, the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
  • The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture and its entire trustworthiness and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • The value of each human being as created by God. The universal sinfulness of humankind since the fall, which alienates all from God and subjects all to condemnation.
  • The full deity and humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, whose substitutionary sacrifice is the sole ground of redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin.
  • The justification of the sinner by the grace of God through faith alone in Christ crucified and risen from the dead.
  • The illuminating, regenerating, indwelling and sanctifying work of God, the Holy Spirit, in the believer.
  • The church as set forth in the New Testament and understood historically by the Baptist community.
  • The expectation of the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, our participation in the resurrection, and the hope of eternal life.
