WHAT WE BELIEVE
Statement of Faith: We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God and the basis of our beliefs. This church accepts the doctrinal statement of the Baptist Faith and Message, Revision of 2000. We voluntarily 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 Believer’s Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Relationships: The government of this church is vested in the body of believers who compose it. This church is independent; in so far as it relates to its internal organization and the regulation of its members according to its own understanding of the Word of God. The Bible shall continue to be the textbook of this church. The ministry of the church, its teachings, preaching, and standards are based on the King James Version of the Holy Bible. This church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Tennessee Baptist Convention, and the Sullivan Baptist Association.
