Article 2: Statement of Faith and Covenant Section 2.01 Statement of Faith
The 1689 London Baptist Confession Faith
At Sovereign Grace Church, we have adopted The 1689 London Baptist Confession Faith as our statement of faith. We see this as a very good reflection of the teachings of Scripture. We find this statement to be an aid in controversy, a confirmation in faith, a means of edification in righteousness and a basis for church unity. We acknowledge, however, the inerrant Scriptures to be the supreme authority in all matters of faith,
