Statement of faith
Bible-Driven · Gospel-Centered
We are a Bible-driven, Gospel-centered Baptist church. The ten articles below are what we publicly confess — the first five are doctrines held by orthodox churches across the centuries, the last five express the distinctives that shape how Baptists gather, decide, and witness.
