We believe in the verbal inspiration
and authority of all Scriptures. We believe that the Bible
reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation, and
God's plan and purpose in the ages.
We believe in God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Deity, Virgin Birth,
and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.
We believe that salvation is "by
Grace" plus nothing and minus nothing. The conditions
of salvation are repentance and faith.
We believe that men are justified
by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only
through the merits of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We believe in the visible, personal
and premillennial return of Jesus Christ.
We believe in the everlasting conscious
punishment of the lost.
We believe in the freedom of religion,
and the autonomy of the Baptist Church. Sweethaven Baptist
Church is to be self-governed by the local body and is never
to be dictated to, or controlled by any outside persons
or forces.
We believe that Sweethaven Christian
Academy, Preschool and Extended Care Programs are a direct
ministry of Sweethaven Baptist Church, and have the mission
to preach and teach Jesus Christ, in order to fulfill the
biblical commission of a daily ministry. (Acts 5:42)
