We don’t have a dress code—wear whatever makes you comfortable. If you prefer to be in jeans and a t-shirt, then please wear jeans and a t-shirt. If you’d prefer to dress a little more traditionally, then please wear a coat and tie or dress. We’re really more concerned that you join us for worship regardless of what you wear. We only ask that you be modest in whatever you choose to wear.

We utilize a blend of both ancient and modern hymns that are doctrinally sound, theologically rich, and easy to sing. We are intentional in only utilizing songs that are biblical, that fit the sermon for the day, and are easy for everyone to join in with. We’re led by a worship team that we’re always looking to add to. If you have any interest in joining, please don’t hesitate to ask.

As a church, our official position is that while we believe that the Bible is completely inspired by God and has no error, we do recognize that the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture applies to the manuscripts, but not necessarily any one translation. Thus, Scripture is completely inerrant, but translations can err. As such, we recommend the use of multiple good English translations rather than only one translation. In services, our primary teaching and preaching translation is the English Standard Version (ESV), but we will occasionally use the New American Standard Bible (NASB), New International Version (NIV), New Living Translation (NLT), and King James Version (KJV).

We are affiliated with the Reformed Baptist Network (RBNet) as a full member church (as of 2024). Through RBNet, we participate in missions work (both domestically and internationally), mutual aid, and fellowship with like-minded Reformed Baptist churches around the world.

In addition, we’re friendly with the Baptist Resource Network of PA/SJ (BRN).

As a church, we believe and teach a position of cessationism concerning spiritual gifts.

• Cessationism teaches that there were two kinds of spiritual gifts given to the early church. Miraculous gifts (speaking in tongues, spontaneous healings, signs, and miracles) were utilized temporarily in the Apostolic Era for the purpose of confirming the authenticity of God’s message through the apostles (Heb 2:3-4; 2 Cor 12:12); and ministering/equipping gifts (teaching, preaching, serving, encouraging, giving, leadership, mercy, etc.) were given to equip believers for edifying one another.

• Because the miraculous gifts were utilized for confirming the authenticity of God’s message, they ceased being utilized at the completion of the New Testament (Heb 1:1-2; 1 Cor 13:8-12). The only spiritual gifts in operation today are non-revelatory equipping gifts given for edification (Ro 12:6-8). While God still heals the sick, suffering, and afflicted, no one today possesses the gift of healing (Luke 18:1-6; John 5:7-9; 2 Cor 12:6-10; James 5:13-16; 1 John 5:14-15).

We are a confessionally Reformed Baptist church. This means that we follow Reformed theology, but Baptist polity. Reformed Baptist churches are Bible-centered, doctrinally conservative, and Gospel-focused churches. They embrace the Protestant Reformation while still holding to the Baptist understanding of believer’s baptism and local church autonomy.

We affirm the Five Solas:
• Sola Scriptura — Scripture alone
• Sola Gratia — grace alone
• Sola fides — faith alone
• Solus Christus — Christ alone
• Soli Deo Gloria — for God’s glory alone

And we are in agreement with:
• The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith
