Our Beliefs

What We Believe

The Church Constitution and By-Laws most accurately and concisely convey the answer to this statement.

Purpose

Desiring to have a simple form of worship, conforming as nearly as possible to New Testament teaching and early church practice; and believing that the evangelization of the world is both the privilege and responsibility of the church of Jesus Christ...a sacred trust committed to us by our Lord Himself, We have formed ourselves into a Baptist Church organization affiliated with the East Central Area, The Kansas Baptist Convention, and the American Baptist Churches, U.S.A.
