There are many churches crisscrossing our nation and a myriad of others across the globe. The basic beliefs of our church are shared with other Baptist churches. We believe each individual local church is autonomous, which means their authority is not derived from an external source or an ecclesiastical body. The local church governs itself, calls its own staff, and is free to practice as the body sees fit. However, we are a group of churches who voluntarily choose to partner with one another, believing we are stronger and more effective in unity with each other than we are serving solely as independent churches. This unique cooperation calls upon each church to have an agreement among certain principals and beliefs in order to be seen in true cooperation. The link below will take you to a site that has the complete Baptist Faith and Message, which is our doctrinal statement of core beliefs.
