We believe the Bible is God’s Word and is the highest earthly authority given for instruction of God’s people, the church. We believe Jesus is the Word of God made flesh and he alone is the Lord of scripture and the only guide for biblical interpretation.

We believe the Bible traces the history of God’s relationship with his people, Israel, and that it points in all ways to Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the goal of history. Trinity Baptist Church Website
