    Reformed Baptists have certain Doctrines and Practices

    The Sovereignty of God

    God is God. He graciously rules all things for the good of His people and for His own glory. As God
    declares in Isaiah:

    “Remember this and stand firm,

    recall it to mind, you transgressors,

    remember the former things of old;

    for I am God, and there is no other;

    I am God, and there is none like me,

    declaring the end from the beginning

    and from ancient times things not yet done,

    saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,

    and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

    calling a bird of prey from the east,

    the man of my counsel from a far country.

    I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;

    I have purposed, and I will do it.

    Isaiah 46:8-11
    The Five Solas

    The foundation stones of our doctrine are the Five Solas: Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, Grace Alone,
    Faith Alone, and the Glory of God Alone. These are not mere slogans for us, but these are the very heart
    and foundation stones of all of our doctrine and practice.

    Out of the Five Solas come the five Doctrines of Grace; five declarations about the condition of mankind
    and God's initiating and preserving grace formed at the Synod of Dort (AD 1618-1619) and used by
    Reformed groups to summarize God's work in securing His people. In the past, these five declarations
    were known by the acrostic TULIP. But the declarations lacked clarity and brought confusion. We think a
    better summary is:

    Spiritually Dead

    Unmerited Election

    Effectual Atonement

    God's Initiating Grace

    Perseverance of the Christian

    The Centrality of Scripture

    Reformed churches hold to both the inerrancy of Scripture and the sufficiency Scripture. That means
    not only do we hold that the Scripture is God's Word, but that it is sufficient to accomplish all that God
    wants to do in His Church without any other human means. The careful expositional proclamation of
    Scripture, therefore, is the center of our worship. For more about our worship, see /connect/worship

    We are Confessional

    Reformed churches hold to a confession of faith. Our church's confession is the historical capstone of all
    Baptist confessions; The Second London Baptist Confession of 1689. While we affirm Sola Scriptura, we
    recognize our confession to be a trustworthy summary of the Scripture's teaching. You can find out
    more about our confession here: /about-us/what-we-believe

    We are Covenantal

    Reformed churches view the Bible as an unified whole, telling the story of the providence of God in
    bringing to Himself one People, from every tribe, language, people, and nation through the Covenant of
    Grace.

    We are Biblically Organized

    Reformed churches follow the New Testament pattern of having both a plurality of elders and deacons.
    Our elders shepherd, oversee, and protect the congregation and ministries of the church, while the
    deacons serve the church in various ministries. To see our leadership, go here: /about-us/our-
    leadership
    We practice Biblical Worship

    Reformed churches follow the biblical mandate that God has prescribed how He desires to be
    worshiped. We follow, therefore, what is known as the Regulative Principle of Worship; we only practice
    in corporate worship what Scripture specifically commands us to do. Our worship is God-centered,
    recognizing that He is alone the consumer, object, and focus of worship. Our worship is also simple,
    stressing the Ordinary Means of Grace: the reading and preaching of the Word, prayer, and observing
    the ordinances. For more about our worship services, go here: /connect/worship
