Question 1

The Bible is God's Word

Accepted Answer

We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God, without any error, the all-sufficient authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.

Question 2

One Triune God

Accepted Answer

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Question 3

Jesus'  Virgin Birth, Death, and Resurrection

Accepted Answer

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is the true God and man. He died on the cross of our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of the Father, and is now our High Priest and Advocate.

Question 4

Created in the Image of God

Accepted Answer

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and therefore is lost. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man's salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

Question 5

Salvation is a Free Gift from God

Accepted Answer

We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man's works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Question 6

Regenerated Church Membership

Accepted Answer

We believe in a regenerated church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior

Question 7

Baptism and Communion are Ordinances

Accepted Answer

We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord's Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on the cross. These are ordinances to be observed by the church in its present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means for man's salvation.

Question 8

Jesus' Imminent Return

Accepted Answer

We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His second coming inspires believers for dynamic and zealous life and service for Him while waiting for His return.

Question 9

Everlasting Blessedness and Punishment

Accepted Answer

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in Hell.

Question 10

Autonomy of the Local Church and Baptist Faith and Message

Accepted Answer

We believe in the autonomy of the local church. The church shall manage its own affairs and shall not be subject to any other religious body organization.

We subscribe to the "Baptist Faith and Message" adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000 as our larger statement of faith with scripture references.
