Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, and
infallible Word of God and the sole basis of any Doctrine of Faith. We
subscribe to the statement of faith as adopted by the Southern Baptist
Convention in 2000 and published under the title,
"The Baptist Faith and
Message." We join together as a body of baptized believers in order
to witness, worship, educate and minister in the name of our Lord.
