Who We Are
We are a group of Christians
committed first to Jesus and to
historic Baptist principles as
seen in our participation in the
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship
and our affirmation of
principles like the autonomy
of the local church and the
priesthood of all believers.
We exhibit our passion for Jesus –
-
In our worship, which is traditional, warm, and joyful;
-
In our missions, which are both local and global;
-
In our outreach, by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
-
In our dedication to spiritual formation and growth;
-
In our inclusivity, which includes accepting any form of Christian baptism;
-
In our affirmation of both women and men as worshippers, servants, and leaders;
-
In our affirmation of principles like the autonomy of the local church;
-
In our firm belief in the priesthood of all believers;
-
In our welcoming care for each other, our community, and our world;
-
In our commitment, through the grace of God, to walk and work together.
