We Believe. . .

The “Baptist Faith and Message”

  1. We believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God.
  2. We believe that there is one and only one living and true God. He reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  He is infinite in holiness, all powerful, and all knowing.
  3. We believe that man and woman are special creations of God, made in His own image, and endowed with a gender that is genetically encoded and manifested physiologically prior to birth. We believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman, and that marriage and the family are the foundation of civil society.
  4. In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Only the grace of God can bring man into His holy fellowship and enable man to fulfill the creative purpose of God. The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore, every person of every race possesses full dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
  5. We believe that salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
