What we believe
Statement of Faith
Historic Baptist doctrine, plainly stated.
Our promise to one another
Church Covenant
Having been led by the Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, we solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.
We will walk together in brotherly love, exercise care and watchfulness over one another, and faithfully admonish and entreat one another as occasion may require.
We will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor neglect to pray for ourselves and others.
We will contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.
We will, when we remove from this place, as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
