OUR BAPTIST BELIEFS
WE BELIEVE IN THE TRIUNE GOD
God the Father
God
the Son
God the Holy Ghost
Our God is the one true God of the Bible, who is one God in Three Persons and is
most clearly revealed to us in the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE (OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS) IS THE DIVINELY INSPIRED WORD
OF GOD
We believe the bible is trustworthy, authoritative and all-sufficient rule of faith and practice.
It is interpreted responsibly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit within the community of faith. The Bible points
us to Jesus Christ and serves as our guide for living a Christ like life.
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, WENT TO THE CROSS FOR US
We believe in the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which enables us to
be forgiven of our sins and be granted eternal life in grace to all who trust Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
WE BELIEVE OUR CALL IS TO BE A PEOPLE WHO WITNESS FOR CHRIST
We are called by Christ to go forth making disciples of all nations (Missions & Evangelism), baptizing
in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
WE BELIEVE WE ARE A
REDEEMED PEOPLE
We are a people who have a personal relationship with
God through Jesus Christ, follow the Lord in believer's baptism (we dedicate as babies and baptise when the individual
understands the meaning of their commitment to Jesus Christ by total immersion), share in the Lord's Supper, honor
the priesthood of all believers, and live a life of faith for all to see.
WE BELIEVE THAT EACH CHURCH IN THE AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCHES USA (ABC-USA) FAMILY IS
Totally independent. However, we do associate with other ABC churches in the Judson Association, The American
Baptist Churches of Massachusetts (TABCOM) and the American Baptist Churches USA (ABC-USA).
