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
  • We believe that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace,¹⁹ through the Mediatorial offices of the Son of God;²⁰ who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon him our nature, yet without sin;²¹ honored the divine law by his personal obedience,²² and by his death made a full atonement for our sins;²³ that having risen from the death, he is now enthroned in heaven;²⁴ and uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Saviour.²⁵
