WHY WE ARE BAPTISTS

Because we affirm the two principal tenets of the Baptist faith tradition:

 

Priesthood of the Believer

Every person is called to be a priest, and therefore every believer is responsible for his or her relationship with God, with others, and with creation.

 

Autonomy of the local church

Each church should be a unique expression of its God-given calling to its members, the community, and the world.
