In order to have efficient ministry, we are part of various organizations that seek God's Kingdom purposes. We partner with these associations on numerous missions and activities. In addition to belonging to these ministries, we are also subscribers of the 2000 doctrinal statement of the Baptist Faith and Message. The Baptist Faith and Message is the statement of faith of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). It summarizes vital Southern Baptist thought in the Bible and its authority, the nature of God as expressed by the Trinity, the spiritual condition of man, God's plan of grace in salvation, the purpose of the local church, ordinances, evangelism, Christian education, interaction with society, religious liberty, and the family.
