What We Believe

Statement of Basic Beliefs

We believe that the sole authority for our faith and practice is the infallible Word of God, encompassing the Scriptures found in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We affirm that these Scriptures serve as the ultimate guide for our spiritual journey and moral conduct.

In addition, we accept both the 1963 and 2000 versions of the “Baptist Faith and Message,” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention, as valuable frameworks for articulating our beliefs. We particularly affirm the Preamble and Section I of the 1963 version, recognizing its foundational principles, while also embracing the updates provided in the 2000 version, especially those addressing contemporary social issues.

We hold that the Scriptures are the divinely inspired record of God’s revelation to humanity, and we believe that each believer is accountable to God alone for the accurate interpretation and application of His Word of Truth. As such, we commit to studying and upholding the teachings of Scripture with integrity and humility, seeking to live out its truths in our daily lives and communities.
