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.
