Our Beliefs
Doctrines & Principles
We hold to the doctrines and principles
for which Baptists have historically stood,
thus, we believe
God
in the Trinity of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
in the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ
Salvation
in the sinfulness of humankind
that the salvation of humans is obtained only by God’s grace
and through one’s placing of their faith in Jesus Christ
as human beings have no ability to earn their own salvation
Scripture
that Scriptures are truthful and are sufficient as the revelation of God and are the final authority in one’s life
Baptism
in baptism by immersion
for all who proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Saviour
The Lord’s Supper
the Lord’s Supper is observed
in memory of Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins,
and in commemoration of his rising again to eternal life for all who believe,
and of his future Second Coming
Freedom and Liberty
in the right of freedom of conscience
and the liberty of worship for all people
Church Membership
the right of Church membership
is to be reserved for those who proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Saviour
and who adhere to His teachings as revealed in Scripture
Church and State
in the separation of Church and State
in that the State will maintain an attitude of neutrality towards the Church
Congregational Government
the local Church has Congregational Government,
under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
and in association with other like-minded churches
