What We Believe
Our beliefs are rooted firmly in the inspired, inerrant Word of God.
The Baptist Faith & Message 2000
Pelahatchie Baptist Church is an autonomous Southern Baptist congregation. We gladly affirm the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message (2000) as our confession of faith.
The Holy Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter.
God & The Trinity
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
Salvation By Grace
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
The Local Church & Ordinances
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel. We observe two ordinances: Believer's Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper.
