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
13. OF A GOSPEL CHURCH
14. OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD'S SUPPER
15. OF THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH

16. OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT
- We believe that civil government is of divine appointment, for the interests and good order of human society;⁸⁴ and that magistrates are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored and obeyed;⁸⁵ except only in things opposed to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ⁸⁶ who is the only Lord of the conscience, and the Prince of the kings of the earth.⁸⁷
