As members of Grace Reformed Baptist Church, our mission is to be and do everything that our Lord Jesus Christ wills for a local church. In particular, our Lord Jesus calls us to be worshipers and disciples, and to make disciples of others, baptizing & teaching people according to His Word (1 Peter 2:5; Matt 28:19-20).

          The name "Grace" is dear to us, because we know that it is by God's grace alone that we, believers in Christ, have been given new spiritual life, and have been saved from our sins and reconciled to God (Rom 5:1-2).

          We affirm the title "Reformed" because we especially identify with those believers and churches, throughout history, who have sought to be "re-formed" according to the Bible as the Word of God. In particular, we have found great benefit in learning the Bible with reference to the great theological works and statements of faith which come from the historical reformation of the Church in the 1500's and 1600's. Biblical, reformed theology shapes the way that we worship, think, and live, as we seek to let the Word of Christ to dwell in us richly (Col 3:16).

           We are a "Baptist" church because we believe that God wills for baptism (by immersion) to be administered only to those who actually profess repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, we believe that God wills for the visible membership of local churches to consist only of those who are visible saints - i.e.: those who credibly walk by faith and obedience to Christ (Acts 2:41-42; Matt 18:15-20; 1 Cor 5; see also LBC 26:2; 29:1-4). 

          We believe in God according to the Holy Scriptures, and we affirm the London Baptist Confession of 1689 as our own church's statement of faith (with a few clarifications and minor adjustments noted within the linked pages, below). 

          The Baptist Confession of 1689 stands in the line of other great historical statements of Christian faith, such as the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed. It was signed and published by the pastors and representatives of over 100 churches meeting in London, England in the year 1689. It continues to be used today as the statement of faith of many churches around the world, and it addresses the following topics of biblical teaching:
