Our Persuasion
We are Baptist
We hold to adult believer baptism (by full immersion) following a credible statement of faith as the only biblically acceptable way to administer the ordinance of baptism as commanded by our Lord in his Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). We hold to credobaptism (“believer” baptism), over against the view of paedobaptism (“infant” baptism)
We are Reformed
As Particular Baptists we hold to the Calvinistic understanding that Jesus died only for the elect, and He died to actually secure their salvation, i.e., particular atonement.
We Teach
THE DOCTRINES OF GRACE
We teach total depravity, that man is corrupt in every facet of his being.
We teach unconditional election, that God chooses to make certain individuals the objects of His unmerited favor.
We teach limited atonement, that Christ’s sacrificial death was sufficient for all but applied, with intent, only to the elect.
We teach irresistible grace, that salvation is an act of God, and whatever God decrees to happen will inevitably come to pass.
We teach the perseverance of the saints, that our salvation is secured by God.
