God is a trinity. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – three persons – in One Being.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” – Matthew 28:18-19

We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary atonement, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory (John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3)

“GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1:1–3

The Bible is the infallible, inspired Word of God. The words were God-breathed and scribed by chosen men. It has all the answers for all of life’s questions and has stayed the same throughout the ages.The Bible has been preserved, and we hold to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, as the final and sufficient rule of faith and practice in all matters of doctrine and conduct (2 Peter 1:20-21).

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished until all good works.” – II Timothy 3:16-17

Sin is breaking God’s law. Sin is knowing to do good and choosing to not to do it. Sin breaks our relationship with God because it breaks God’s standard of holiness.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” – Romans 3:23

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” – James 4:17

Heaven is the eternal home of the believer. It is the place where God abides. It will be beautiful, but the greatest part will be seeing our Savior, Jesus Christ, face to face.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” – John 14:1-3

Hell is the eternal home of the unbeliever. It is a place of fire and darkness separated from God forever. It is the believer’s responsibility to bring Christ to the unbeliever so they can go to Heaven.

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” – Revelation 20:14

Salvation takes place when a person repents of their sins and trusts Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection as their only hope of forgiveness and eternal life.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made until salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” – Romans 10:9-13

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9

Baptism is an act of obedience following salvation. The Bible describes baptism as the act of full immersion into water, following the example of Jesus’ own baptism.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” – Matthew 28:18-19

The Bible teaches the priesthood of all believers, granting direct access to God through Jesus Christ, and affirm the individual soul liberty and autonomy of the local church in matters of faith and practice (Romans 14:5; 1 Corinthians 11:2).

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9–10

The Christian life is to be filled with joy, peace, faith, hope, and love. God desires a relationship with us. He talks to us through His Word, the Bible. We talk with Him through prayer.

“But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” – Galatians 5:18-23

As believers, prayer is method of communication with our Heavenly Father. Anything we need or desire may be brought before the throne of God in prayer, and we can know that He always hears us.

“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” – Luke 11:1-4

As Baptists, we recognize only two ordinances as given by Scripture:

Believer’s Baptism by Immersion

• Administered only to those who have personally professed faith in Christ.

• As a picture of His death, burial, and resurrection: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death…” (Rom. 6:4) and obedience to His command.

The Lord’s Supper

• In the Lord’s Supper, believers partake of the bread and the grape juice as a remembrance of Christ’s body and blood: “this do in remembrance of me” (1 Cor. 11:24–25 KJV).

• It is to be observed “till he come” as an act of obedience and reminder of His sacrifice for us: “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Cor. 11:26 KJV).

We believe these ordinances are not means of salvation but solemn, symbolic acts of obedience and public testimony, practiced only within the context of a local, autonomous New Testament church.
