The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the basis for any statement of faith. We do hereby adopt as the most concise expression of our faith the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention as long as it continues to follow the authority of the Holy Scriptures. We accept it, not as an authoritative rule or code of faith, but as an aid to us in controversy, a confirmation of what we believe, and as a means of growing together in grace. 

 

Further clarifications:

We do hereby affirm the “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy” (1978), and the “Cambridge Declaration” (1996) as our further clarifications on the Bible and Christian Orthodoxy.

We do hereby affirm the “Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood” (1987), and the Nashville Statement on Marriage and Sexuality (2017) as our further clarifications on Biblical Families and Gender.

We do hereby affirm the “Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel” (2018), as our further clarification on race and ethnicity, manhood and womanhood, and human sexuality. 

We do hereby affirm the Southern Baptist Resolution on Abolishing Abortion (2020) as our further clarification on the sanctity of human life.
