This Constitution and these Bylaws are established to preserve and secure the principles of our faith, and to govern the body of believers in an orderly manner. They will also preserve the liberties of each individual church member and the freedom of action of this body in its relation to other church and denominational organizations.
This Constitution and these Bylaws are not Scripture; however, they are man’s best effort of interpretation of Scripture as to whom we are, what we are about, our basic beliefs, and how the affairs of the Church should be conducted decently and in order.
Helping people discover and develop a whole-hearted, love relationship with Jesus Christ; incorporating them into His family; equipping them to demonstrate His love through spiritual giftedness and personal ministry.
The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and is the basis for any statement of faith. The Church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of “The Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963 and as amended in 1998 and 2000. 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.
The statement of faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For purposes of church doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, the Senior Pastor and active deacons are the church’s final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.
