Statement of Faith

Our statement of faith is best contained in the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. (Click here for the modern English version.)

This concise statement of faith is not our starting point when it comes to our beliefs, but rather is the end point, the systematic and orderly summation of the truths taught in the Scriptures.

​

We agree with the sentiment of the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, when he writes in the preface to the copy of this confession of faith that he gave to his congregants, “This little volume is not issued as an authoritative rule, or code of faith, whereby you are to be fettered, but as an assistance to you in controversy, a confirmation in faith, and a means of edification in righteousness. Here the younger members of our church will have a body of divinity in small compass, and by means of Scriptural proofs, will be ready to give an account for the hope that is in them. Be not ashamed of your faith; remember it is the ancient gospel of martyrs, confessors, reformers and saints. Above all, it is “the truth of God”, against which the gates of Hell cannot prevail. Let your lives adorn your faith, let your example adorn your creed. Above all live in Christ Jesus, and walk in Him, giving credence to no teaching but that which is manifestly approved of Him, and owned by the Holy Spirit. Cleave fast to the Word of God which is here mapped out for you.”
