DISTINCTIVE PRINCIPLES

 

​

We hold the following distinctive Baptist principles:

 

1. The absolute Lordship of Christ

​

2. The supreme authority of the Holy Scriptures

​

3. The competency of the individual soul (freedom of conscience)

​

4. The necessity of spiritual regeneration for church membership

​

5. The complete separation of church and state

​

6. The autonomy of the local church (congregational polity/priesthood of all believers)
