What do Baptists believe?
Bible
We believe that the Bible is God's Word to man and that it is the only sufficient authority as the rule of doctrine and practice.
Saved Membership
We believe in a regenerated church membership and that the conversion experience is a prerequisite to church membership.
Immersion
In the New Testament the candidate was taken to the water, not the water brought to the candidate; the candidate was placed in the water, not the water put on the candidate; so we believe in immersion only as answering Christ's command of baptism and symbolizing the heart of the gospel message - death, burial, resurrection.
Two Ordinances
We believe in the New Testament ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Congregationalism
We believe in the right of each member of the church to a voice in its government, plans and disciplines. A Baptist Church is a true democracy at work.
Individual Freedom
We believe in the freedom of the individual conscience; in the voluntary principle, not the coercive principle, in religion.
Separation of Church and State
We believe in the total independence from and separation of, church and state.
