What We Believe

Our church has adopted the Doctrinal Statement of the Missionary Association of America. 

We share these orthodox views of most Christians:

• The trinity of God

• The virgin birth and deity of Jesus Christ

• The verbal inspiration of the Scriptures

• The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ

• The return of Christ

We share these historic principles with most Baptists:

• Salvation by grace through faith alone

• Believer's baptism by immersion

• The eternal security of the believer

• The priesthood of the believer

• Religious liberty for all

• The separation of church and state

We share these principles with BMA churches:

• The church is the unit of cooperation.

• The church is autonomous, cooperating voluntarily and directly choosing all the officers, directors, and missionaries of the association.

• The church is respected, cooperating equally with the same number of voting representatives as the other churches, regardless of the size of church membership or financial contributions.

• The church is primary; the association only exists to expedite the ministries of the church.

• The ordinances of the church are given prominence.

• Baptism is an act of obedience, not an optional preference, for each believer.

• Baptism is related to the church; therefore, the church must be scriptural for its baptism to be scriptural.

• The Lord's Supper is a memorial to be observed within the context of the church, the local assembly of baptized believers.

• The mission of the church is strategic.

• Each church should evangelize its local area.

• Each church should join other churches in sending missionary personnel to other areas in the United States as well as every country on earth.
