Church Information
Statement of Basic Beliefs
We affirm the Holy Bible in its teachings on certain prohibited lifestyles which are not part of the biblical ideal for mankind. We hold to the infinite dignity and worth of all people (regardless as to race, creed, color, lifestyle, and gender no matter what they have become or made of themselves.)
We are an extension of God’s love to all. This is the message we preach and teach according to the Holy Bible upon which the tenants of our faith are given.
This church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of Baptist Faith and Message of 1925. We voluntarily band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind. The ordinances of the church are believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper.
PREAMBLE
We declare and establish this constitution to preserve and secure the principles of our faith and to govern the body in an orderly manner. This constitution will preserve the liberties of each individual church member and the freedom of action of this body in relation to other churches.
