We confess the Reformed Faith as summarized in the 1689 London Baptist Confession, holding to Holy Scriptures as the only certain rule of faith and practice. Sunday Services:

Men’s Book Study on the last Friday of every month: We are currently reading God Is by Mark Jones. We have a joint service with
Trinity Grace Church in Ramsbottom at 3:00pm. You are welcome to stay for lunch between services, as families enjoy fellowship and share a meal together. Who we are:
Evangelical: We believe that the Bible not only contains, but is in itself, God’s perfect and perpetually relevant message to all. The Apostle Paul wrote in his second letter to Timothy, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” We also believe and confess in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ for the salvation of all who believe. “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”
Reformed: We hold to the great doctrines of scripture that were taught in the protestant Reformation, as the reformation sparks a recovery of the gospel. An excellent summary of what this means is found in the 5 Solas: Scripture Alone, Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, for the Glory of God Alone. Therefore, we place an emphasis on the sovereignty of God in the salvation of sinners. We also believe that God relates to man by way of covenant, and that covenant theology is the best structure to read the Scriptures. Confessional: The Scripture stress the importance of confessing the Faith, as everyone who confesses Jesus Christ is Lord will be saved. (Rom 10:13) and Jesus said, that “everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 10:32). Although every man-made confession of faith is subservient to Scripture, we hold to the the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) as the best summary of the doctrine of the Scripture.

Baptist: We hold traditional Baptist doctrines, including the belief that baptism is to be administered only upon a credible profession of faith and to those who desire to be his disciples (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:38, 41). Church: We believe the church exists as those called out of the world by the Holy Spirit to be joined to Jesus Christ and to one another for the glory of God. We gather under the authority of Christ by his Word to be a worshipping, loving, gracious, serving, and giving community. Ministry Connections:
