Our Beliefs

We are committed to being thoroughly biblical in all aspects of our faith and life. This commitment shapes our theology, where we hold fast to the historic doctrines of the faith that were once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3). It governs our worship, which we conduct according to the Regulative Principle of Scripture, and it directs our church practice, centering our life together on the faithful administration of the Ordinary Means of Grace.

As Baptists, we hold to particular biblical convictions regarding ecclesiology—the doctrine of the church. These convictions define our practice of church membership, which we believe is reserved only for those who make a credible profession of faith and have been baptized as believers. They likewise determine our understanding of church authority, as we affirm that the local church is autonomous under the headship of Christ, entrusted with the keys of the kingdom to be exercised in its government and discipline.

We are fundamentally Christ-centered, aiming to make the glory of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ the focus of everything we do. This commitment defines our understanding of Scripture, where we affirm Christ as its overarching theme and ultimate goal. It governs our worship, making Him the central and supreme focus. Finally, it fuels our practice, with the gospel serving as the motivation for every aspect of our faith and life.
