We Believe the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God.

We Believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.

We Believe in the Death of Jesus Christ on the Cross for our sins.

 

We Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

We Believe in the Visible and Imminent Return of Jesus Christ.

We Believe in a Literal Heaven where the saved shall live eternally, and a literal Hell, where the lost shall forever be separated from God in torment.

We Believe that Salvation is a Gift from God based upon His grace and extended to those who will repent of sin and place their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

 

Publicly stating your faith in Christ and accepting Him as Lord and Savior of your life is the first step in becoming a Christian and a member of a Baptist Church. This is followed by believer’s baptism by immersion, an act not necessary for one’s salvation, but one that serves as a visible symbol of what Christ has done in a person’s heart. Believer’s baptism is a prerequisite for church membership.

 

If you are a member of another Baptist Church, you might choose to transfer membership from that church to Slayden Baptist Church. You do this by coming forward and expressing your wish to the pastor, ministerial staff, deacon, or counselor.

 

If you are presently a member of another denomination of like faith, or if your letter is not obtainable, but have professed faith in Christ and experienced baptism by immersion, you may choose to join by statement. This may be done by coming forward and expressing your wish to the pastor, ministerial staff, deacon, or counselor.
