Who We Are

If you're considering a visit to McConnell Road Baptist, you may be wondering what kind of church we are.

We're Baptist in our church polity

That means that we hold to historic Baptist distinctives, such as:

  • Biblical Authority — the Bible is sufficient as the source of faith and practice.
  • Autonomy of the Local Church — the church makes decisions independent of outside organizations.
  • Priesthood of the Believers — Jesus is the only mediator needed between God and man.
  • Two Ordinances — Jesus ordained baptism and the Lord's Supper for the church.
  • Individual Soul Liberty — individuals are responsible to God.
  • Saved Church Membership — the local church should be made up of people who live and profess faith in Jesus.
  • Two Offices — the Bible ordains and provides qualifications for pastors and deacons.
  • Separation of Church & State — the local church is on a unique mission for God.

We're fundamental in our doctrine

That means that we hold strongly to these fundamental doctrines:

  • Deity of Christ — Jesus is, was, and will always be God.
  • Virgin Birth — Jesus was born as a man through a miracle of God.
  • Blood Atonement — Jesus shed His blood in the place of sinful men; His blood is necessary for salvation.
  • Bodily Resurrection — Jesus literally died and three days later rose from the dead and walked among His disciples.
  • Inerrancy of Scripture — The Bible is completely accurate, fully dependable, and always sufficient.

We're traditional in our church practice

That means you're likely to find a more traditional or conservative style of music and worship service. We dedicate a significant portion of each service to the reading and preaching of God's Word. We will sometimes sing southern gospel songs, but most of the time we are singing more traditional hymns.

We're a community and family church by design

We strive to be a growing and vibrant church with spiritual life. Yet we also want to be a place where you can know most of the people, have a relationship with the pastor, and get your whole family involved.

What We Believe

The following statements are excerpts from our church’s constitution and by-laws:

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Holy Scriptures to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed and, therefore, are the final authority for faith and life.

The Trinity

We believe in one triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections.

The Person of Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.

The Atonement

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead.

The Ascension and High Priesthood of Christ

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption.

Spiritual Gifts

We believe that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and the gift of healing, were temporary.

The Fall of Man

We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God; but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Man is totally depraved and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins.

Eternal Security

We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word, which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh.

The Return of Christ

We believe in that blessed hope, the personal, imminent return of Christ Who will rapture His church prior to the seven-year tribulation period.

The Resurrection

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.

Creation

We believe that God created the universe in six literal, 24-hour periods.

Authority and Government

We believe that God has ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1) the home, 2) the church, and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to God and governed by His Word.

Marriage, Sexuality, and the Family

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between one naturally-born man and one naturally-born woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgenderism, pedophilia, polygamy, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex.

The Role of Men and Women

We believe that men and women are spiritually equal in position before God but that God has ordained distinct and separate spiritual functions for men and women in the home and the church.

The Sanctity of Human Life

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being.

Love and Compassion

We believe that we should demonstrate love for others, not only toward fellow believers, but also toward both those who are not believers and those who oppose us. We are to deal with those who oppose us graciously, gently, patiently, and humbly.

The Great Commission

We believe that God has given the church a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
II Timothy 3:16
