Doctrine - What We Teach

While Scripture is always the final authority for faith and practice (II Timothy 3:16-17), historic confessions of faith are helpful for explaining core doctrines in the Bible and serving as both a guide and guard for what we teach. Our church holds to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.
