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
  • We believe that Repentance and Faith are sacred duties, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the regenerating Spirit of God;⁴² whereby being deeply convinced of our guilt, danger, and helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ,⁴³ we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy;⁴⁴ at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our Prophet, Priest, and King, and relying on him alone as the only and all-sufficient Saviour.⁴⁵
