We are 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 confession of faith is subservient to Scripture, we hold to the 2nd London Baptist Confession o
f Faith (1689) as the best summary of the doctrine of the Scripture. 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 these truths are summarized in the five Latin solas. Scripture Alone, Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, for the Glory of God Alone. We also believe in the Doctrines of Grace, emphasising the sovereignty of God's grace in the salvation of sinners. To be Reformed though is also to be covenantal. We also believe that God relates to man by way of covenant, and that covenant theology is the best structure to read the Scriptures, as has been summarized in the Reformed confessions. We are a Baptist church. 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). Those who have professed faith in Christ by way of baptism are to be united in particular local churches. 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.
