What We Believe


"Baptists are a people of deep beliefs and cherished doctrines.
Throughout our history we have been a confessional people,
adopting statements of faith as a witness to our beliefs
and a pledge of our faithfulness to the doctrines revealed
in Holy Scripture."
(Preamble of BF&M 2000)

The Baptist Faith & Message 2000

"Baptist churches, associations, and general bodies have adopted confessions of faith as a witness to the world, and as instruments of doctrinal accountability. We are not embarrassed to state before the world that these are doctrines we hold precious and as essential to the Baptist tradition of faith and practice." (Preamble of the BF&M 2000).
Precision Valley Baptist Church adopts the
Baptist Faith & Message 2000 as its body of core beliefs.


The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy

The “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy” (CSBI) was produced at an international Summit Conference of evangelical leaders, held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago in the fall of 1978. This congress was sponsored by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The Chicago Statement was signed by nearly 300 noted evangelical scholars. This landmark document is considered to be the “first systematically comprehensive, broadly based, scholarly, creed-like statement on the inspiration and authority of Scripture in the history of the church.”
Precision Valley Baptist Church agrees with the CSBI.


The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

The Danvers Statement summarizes the need for the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) and serves as an overview of our core beliefs. This statement was prepared by several evangelical leaders at a CBMW meeting in Danvers, Massachusetts, in December of 1987. It was first published in final form by the CBMW in Wheaton, Illinois in November of 1988.
Precision Valley Baptist Church affirms the Danvers Statement. 


The Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality

"We are persuaded that faithfulness in our generation means declaring once again the true story of the world and of our place in it—particularly as male and female. Christian Scripture teaches that there is but one God who alone is Creator and Lord of all. To him alone, every person owes glad-hearted thanksgiving, heart-felt praise, and total allegiance. This is the path not only of glorifying God, but of knowing ourselves. To forget our Creator is to forget who we are, for he made us for himself. And we cannot know ourselves truly without truly knowing him who made us. We did not make ourselves. We are not our own. Our true identity, as male and female persons, is given by God. It is not only foolish, but hopeless, to try to make ourselves what God did not create us to be." (excerpt from NSBS preamble). 
Precision Valley Baptist Church also affirms the NSBS.
