What We Believe
Established in the free-church tradition of Protestant Christianity, Baptist Temple does not require its members to sign or recite a creed or specific statement of faith. Following the earliest Christian confession of faith, we unite around the simple affirmation that "Jesus Christ is Lord."
That does not mean the church endorses any and all beliefs. Baptist Temple's faith is rooted in the fact that Jesus Christ is the pre-existent Son of God, was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried and resurrected and now reigns in heaven with God the Father.
The most comprehensive confession of faith in which most Baptist Temple members would find agreement is the 1963 Baptist Faith & Message, which may be read in its entirety here.
