AN INDEPENDENT REFORMED BAPTIST CHURCH
We exist to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Our desire is to worship God in an acceptable way, which is instituted by Him in the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, our corporate worship contains only the commands God has given us in His Word, which are listed in our confession of faith as the, “reading the Scriptures, preaching and hearing the Word of God, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our hearts to the Lord, as well as the administration of baptism and the Lord’s supper.”(1689 2nd LBC 22:5)
We are committed to the inspiration, inerrancy and sufficiency of the Scripture, the doctrines of grace, historical, independent Baptist beliefs, and Christ-centered and Christ exalting preaching. We affirm and adhere to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith which is the historic statement of faith of Reformed Baptists. We desire to witness the Lord build a local church comprised of men and women from different backgrounds who desire the Word of Truth and are able to worship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ together. Our church exists as a testimony to the glorious grace of Christ in building His church for His glory.
We are committed to preaching the whole counsel of God for the glory of God, the salvation of sinners, and the edification of the saints. We regulate our worship according to God’s word and seek, by His grace, to obey the practical exhortations directed to believers and churches in the Scriptures.As Reformed Baptists, we subscribe to the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 as our doctrinal statement. We do not view this document on par with the Holy Scripture, but agree with Charles H. Spurgeon who said: “This little volume is not issued as an authoritative rule, or code of faith, whereby you are to be fettered, but as an assistance to you in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means of edification in righteousness. Here the younger members of our church will have a body of divinity in small compass, and by means of the Scriptural proofs, will be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in them.”
Please see our Confession of Faith page for more information.
All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all; yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed and observed for salvation, are so clearly propounded and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of ordinary means, may attain to a sufficient understanding of them.
