We are a Reformed Evangelical Baptist church. Being “Reformed” means adhering to the principles of the Protestant Reformation and all five points of the Doctrines of Grace. We affirm all doctrine taught by Jesus, Paul, and the apostles, and consider Scripture the ultimate authority in matters of life and faith. We are Evangelical as our focus in everything we do is the gospel of Jesus Christ. We hold to the five ‘solas’: that men are saved 1. By Grace alone, 2. By Faith alone, 3. In Christ Alone, 4. According to the Scriptures alone, 5. To the glory of God alone.
