Church Distinctives 

What is a Reformed Baptist Church?

Our Mission

To Experience God Verse-by-Verse.

summary

We are a body of Believers who embrace the theological principles of the Protestant Reformation while preserving Baptist distinctives with Baptism and The Lord's Supper.

our Vision

To Share Jesus Day-by-Day.

Bible-based

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

Confessional

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.

Scholastic

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

God's Sovereignty

God’s sovereignty refers to God’s absolute and unrivaled rule over all His creatures and their circumstances.

God's Law & Gospel Grace

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

God's Covenants

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

Worship

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.

Cessationists

We teach that the Old Testament prophetic office, along with the New Testament apostolic office and its extraordinary gifts of miracles and speaking in tongues have ceased after the first century.

Elder Led

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

Liberty

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

Ordinances

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.

Membership

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