While we hold tenaciously to the inerrant and infallible word of God as found in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments in the Holy Bible (and this being our only source of faith and practice); we embrace and adopt the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 (herein referred to as the confession) as the most accurate expression of that system of doctrine taught in the Bible. This confession, then, is the doctrinal statement and position of this Church.
