Beliefs That
Unite Us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baptists are a people of deep beliefs and cherished doctrines. Throughout our history we have been a confessional people, adopting statements of faith as a witness to our beliefs and a pledge of our faithfulness to the doctrines revealed in Holy Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our confessions of faith are rooted in historical precedent, as the church in every age has been called upon to define and defend its beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the purpose of this statement of faith and message to set forth certain teachings which we believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
