     BELIEFS

I believe the basic teachings of the Bible as the authoritative, perfect word of God.

I believe in the local church as the expression of the body of Christ on earth.

I believe the church must faithfully and truthfully teach the Bible as God’s word.

I believe that the church must provide an atmosphere for nurturing, learning and worshipping.

I am basically more comfortable with traditional worship style while being very open to blended worship style.

I believe each member should be faithful in attending, supporting financially, and serving the church.

I believe the church should participate in what God is doing in our world by praying for and financially supporting our Southern Baptist Convention and its related components.
