Church Distinctives 

To Experience God Verse-by-Verse.

We are a Body of Believers who align with the theological principles of the Protestant Reformation while maintaining Baptist distinctives in the ordinances and ecclesiology.

To Share Jesus Day-by-Day.

We teach that the Bible is the authoritative, inerrant, inspired, infallible, sufficient, and efficacious Word of Almighty God.

We accept the ancient creeds that affirm the Bible’s doctrine: the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed. We also affirm the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith and the Baptist Faith and Message.

We humbly use education, reason, and the laws of logic, by faith, when studying the Word of God.

We teach the five doctrines of grace and the five solas of the Protestant Reformation. We also hold a high view of God’s holiness compared to the sinfulness of our sin.

We teach how God's moral law reveals God Himself and how the fulfillment of God's Law is in His grace through Christ.

We teach how God rules history through His covenants and how His covenants organize Scripture.

We adhere to the regulative principle of worship: The reading of Scripture, the preaching of God's Word, prayer, the singing of spiritual songs, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the giving of tithes and offerings.

We teach the that the prophetic office and the apostolic gifts of signs and speaking in tongues ceased after the first century.

We teach that  that qualified men lead the local church through Elders.

We teach that Christians are to be unified in the essentials, freedom of choice in things non-essential, and grace in all things.

We celebrate the two ordinances that Christ instituted in the Gospels - Believer’s Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We also teach the divine order of the ordinances—as belief in the Gospel precedes the Believer’s baptism, the Believer’s baptism precedes the Lord’s Supper.

The church is the Bride of Christ, thus we teach the necessity of Christian community and commitment, which Scripture calls membership (melos). The measure of our love for Christ is demonstrated by our love for His Church.
