We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired word of God and as the foundation of our beliefs (II Timothy 3:16).  The church subscribes to the doctrinal statements of the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963 and amended in 2000.  We bond 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 this church are baptism (Romans 6:3-5) and the Lord's Supper (I Corinthians 11:23-28).
