Doctrinal Statment of Beliefs

Our church affirms the New Hampshire Confession of Faith 1853 (Slightly Modified). A summary of our identity of who are are as a church as follows:

We are a Christian Church. We believe the fundamental doctrines of Christianity such as (The Bible is God's Word, the Trinity, Original sin, Depravity of mankind, the virgin birth of Jesus, the physical resurrection, salvation alone in Jesus Christ, traditional marriage)

We are a Protestant Church. We identify with the Protestant doctrines known as the Five Solas. (Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone, Solus Christus - Christ Alone, Sola Gratia - Grace Alone, Sola Fide - Faith Alone, and Soli Deo Gloria)

We are a Reformed Church. We teach the doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, and perseverance of the saints.

We are a Baptistic Church. We baptize believers only by immersion and we are an independent autonomous church.

We are a Complementarian Church. We affirm that only men should be elders.

To give further clarity to what we teach, our Leadership team affirms the 1833 New Hampshire Confession of Faith, which we modified in 2025 and adopted as a church. To read our slightly amended version, see below:
