Apart from Jesus Christ we cannot know the meaning of our life or our death, of God or ourselves. Thus without Scripture, whose only object is Christ, we know nothing, and can see nothing but obscurity and confusion in the nature of God and in nature itself." – Blaise Pascal from his book Pénseés. Our Beliefs We affirm the following beliefs: The Inspiration and Authority of the Scriptures; The Existence of one God in Three Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; The Creation of the Human Race in the Image of God. The Fall and Resultant Human Depravity; The Deity of Christ; His Incarnation, Atoning Death, and Resurrection; Salvation by the Grace of God Through Faith by the Power of the Holy Spirit; One Holy Christian Church, the Body of Christ; The Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Consummation of All Things. We find the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith to be a good historical statement of faith. Here's a good summary of the doctrines of the 1689 Confession as summarized by the International Fellowship of Reformed Baptists. You may also wish to review Massimo Lorenzini's detailed personal Confession of Faith. Also, of related interest is his Philosophy of Ministry and his revision of the Baptist Catechism. To show our solidarity with other faithful Christians, we also affirm the following doctrinal statements: The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, The Cambridge Declaration of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, The Colorado Statement on Biblical Sexual Morality, the Answers in Genesis Statement of Faith, The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration, Together for the Gospel, and The Gospel Coalition.
