What We Believe

Heritage Bible Church exists to glorify God through:

1. Worship in reverence and truth (John 4:24),

2. Preaching the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27)

3. Administering the ordinances/sacraments (1 Cor 10:16-17, 11:26; Col 2:12)

4. Praying for and with one another (Acts 2:42)

5. Making and maturing disciples (Matt 28:18–20)

6. Equipping the saints for ministry (Eph 4:11–12)

7. Practicing biblical discipline (Matt 18; 1 Cor 5)

 

Statement of Faith

This church affirms both:

  • The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689)*
  • The Westminster Standards as revised in 1973 

We recognize these two confessions as faithful summaries of biblical doctrine. While differences exist (notably on baptism and polity), both confessions are welcomed within the leadership and life of this church. We seek to honor unity in essentials, liberty in non-essentials, and charity in all things.  

*revisions made to 1973 Westminster would also apply to Second London Baptist Confession (1689), regarding the pope.
