As a Baptist church, we have a confession of faith common to all historically Baptist churches, and we agree with certain foundational principles in all of our teaching and fellowship.

​

These principles are:

​

The inspiration and authority of God's Word.

God's authoritative body of communication to us is His divinely inspired Word. It is our foundation in all matters of instruction and fellowship.

​

The two ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper.

We believe Jesus commanded us to baptize those who profess faith in Him and observe His Supper frequently until He returns.

​

The priesthood and liberty of all believers.

All believers have equal access to God and the freedom to interpret God's Word for themselves.

​

The independence of the local church.

Emmanuel Baptist Church is independent from any external governing body.

​

Baptized church membership.

We believe before an individual is accepted into membership, he should first obey the command of Christ to be baptized.
