WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our theological tradition flows from the Baptistic stream so we are a confessional congregation by nature. This means that members of our church are not required to adhere to a particular creed or set of doctrines to be a part of our fellowship. Nor is our church required to “sign on” to any particular confessional statement to participate in cooperative efforts with sister churches. Instead, we point to the confessional statement known as the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 as a document which is helpful to expresses what most local gatherings in our network of churches typically believe about matters of faith and practice. For the most part, the teaching ministry of our church is grounded in these areas of doctrinal agreement.

We are completely ok with diverse interpretations of secondary and tertiary issues. We find that diversity to be a blessing to our fellowship, not a hindrance.  Although our pastors have a deep love for theology, and our teaching ministry is heavy on doctrinal soundness, we focus on unity and charity while being firmly grounded in expository teaching.
