Who We Are

About

We are Baptists, a Christian denomination which seeks to build our faith and our church on the basis of what the Bible says.

We are Evangelicals, a group of Christians who emphasize the “good news” of Jesus Christ for all people. Evangelicals are found in many Christian denominations but generally emphasize:

  • Salvation through personal faith in Jesus Christ,
  • The authority of Scripture,
  • The need to grow as disciples (followers) of Jesus,
  • The need to tell others about Jesus.
