The Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and is the basis for any statement of the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963 as revised in 2000. In matters of discussions or disputes over the scriptures, we will refer to the Holy Bible (KJV) as our basis for settling those disputes. We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ, personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind. The ordinances of the church are baptism and the Lord's Supper.
New Testament baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience, not a condition of salvation or cleansing, symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus as Lord. It is a testimony to His faith as the prerequisite for membership in this body of believers. The Deacon Body shall make preparation for the ordinance and assist the Pastor in the administration of this ordinance to the congregation. Matt. 3:13-17; 28:19-29; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 3:23; Acts 2:41-42; 8:35-39; 16:30-33; Rom 6:3-5
We believe the Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience through partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine, memorializing the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, His presence in our midst, our commitment to Him, His will for our lives and for His church, and anticipating His second coming.
