We are CHRISTIANS
We believe in and follow the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to give Him His rightful place in His Church.
We are PROTESTANTS
We believe and teach the 5 Solas of the Reformation:
  • Scripture Alone (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
  • Grace Alone (Romans 11:6)
  • Faith Alone (Ephesians 2:8,9)
  • Christ Alone (John 14:6)
  • Glory to God Alone (Romans 11:36)
We are BAPTISTS
We affirm 5 Baptist distinctives:
  • Bible as the final authority (1 Thessalonians 2:13)
  • Regenerate church membership (Acts 2:41)
  • Priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:5-9)
  • Autonomy of the local church (Acts 6:1-5)
  • Baptism for believers only (Matthew 28:18,19)
We also embrace 5 phrases that capture some of our goals:
  • Be a Berean (Acts 17:11)
  • By His grace, for His glory (1 Cor. 15:10 & 10:31)
  • God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him (Psalm 37:4)
  • Missions exists because worship doesn’t (3 John 6-8)
  • In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity (Romans 14,15; 1 Cor 16:14)
