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

• 12. OF THE HARMONY OF THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL
  • We believe that the Law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral government;⁶² that it is holy, just, and good;⁶³ and that the inability which the Scriptures ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its precepts arises entirely from their love of sin;⁶⁴ to deliver them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the Holy Law, is one great end of the Gospel, and of the means of grace connected with the establishment of the visible Church.⁶⁵
