What we believe

 

We are in agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention May 9, 1963, and revised June 9, 1998, to include article XVIII on The Family. We adopt as the fullest expression of our faith the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith (see link below). The ultimate authority in all matters of faith, order, and morals is and must be the Bible alone, which truth is clearly set forth in the opening article of the Confession itself. This historic document is, however, an excellent summary of "the things most surely believed among us," and we find it to be an assistance in controversy, a confirmation in faith and a means of edification in righteousness.
