What We Believe
Throughout the centuries, Christians have incorporated a variety of creeds and confessions as tools for conveying their beliefs, both within their religious circles and to the world at large. We adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message.
We Collaborate to Make an Impact
Affiliations
Our affiliation with the Baptist State Convention of Michigan (BSCM), supports spreading the gospel within the state of Michigan. Our association with the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board empowers us to take the message of salvation to the ends of the earth.
