Q: What does “a new way to be Baptist” actually mean?
A: We are Baptist by tradition, Christian by conviction, and ecumenical in spirit. Many in our congregation came from other faith groups but have found a home with us. We preach, teach and demonstrate grace, love and freedom for all people. You will discover what we are for, not what we are against. We believe the call of God into ministry extends equally to both females and males. Believing the mind is a key component in our faith journey... people are encouraged to think.
