what we believe!

the 18 articles of faith

Our church was founded and based on the teachings of the Word of God according to the King James Bible 1611, and established in accordance with the Pendleton's Baptist Manual. This includes the adoption of the "18 Articles of Faith".

• 1. OF THE SCRIPTURES
• 2. OF THE TRUE GOD
• 3. OF THE FALL OF MAN
• 4. OF THE WAY OF SALVATION
• 5. OF JUSTIFICATION
• 6. OF THE FREENESS OF SALVATION
• 7. OF GRACE IN REGENERATION
• 8. OF REPENTANCE AND FAITH
• 9. OF GOD'S PURPOSE OF GRACE
• 10. OF SANCTIFICATION

• 11. OF THE PERSEVERANCE OF SAINTS
  • We believe that such only are real believers as endure unto the end;⁵⁸ that their persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors;⁵⁹ that a special Providence watches over their welfare;⁶⁰ and they are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.⁶¹
