Reformed Perspective

What is a Reformed Southern Baptist perspective?

That we are "Reformed" in our theology means that we hold to the theological principles of the Protestant Reformation from which the Protestant church was born. We preach the Bible from the perspective of the "five Solas" of the Reformation. The "five Solas" are Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus and Soli Deo Gloria. Our authority is Scripture Alone by which we hold to salvation by Grace Alone, through Faith Alone, in Christ Alone. Thus, we proclaim To God Alone Be the Glory! These "five Solas" and their importance are described in The Cambridge Declaration written by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. We also recommend that you visit the Founders.org website, a ministry of teaching and encouragement promoting both doctrine and devotion expressed in the Doctrines of Grace and their experiential application to the local church.
Our pastor and our church are Southern Baptist which means that we subscribe to the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message. Although we are an autonomous body, we voluntarily associate ourselves with other Baptists for the purposes of cooperation in missions and other ministries. At the national level we are aligned with the Southern Baptist Convention. At the state level we are uniquely aligned with the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia.
