Baptist Heritage and Beliefs

In traditional Baptist fashion, we have no creed but the Bible. We enthusiastically affirm our commitment to the sole authority of the Bible for faith and practice. We gladly affirm the historic beliefs of the Christian faith. A voluntary confession of these beliefs is summarized in the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message. 
  • Priesthood of all believers
  • Soul freedom/competency
  • Individual interpretation of the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
  • Local church autonomy and congregational polity
  • Religious liberty
  • Cooperative missions and evangelism
  • Lay led ministry
  • Servant leadership
  • Equality of all believers
The Oaks is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Georgia Baptist Convention, Tattnall-Evans Baptist Association and other Christian groups.
