Our church currently affirms the Baptist Faith and Message (current edition) as our primary statement of faith. At the same time, what we teach is within the historic stream of Christian orthodoxy as reflected in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the historic Baptist tradition expressed in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) For a brief summary of the essential doctrines we teach, the Abstract of Principles reflects the commitments that shape our teaching and ministry.
