Our Foundation
Our statement of faith and the convictions that unite our fellowship of churches.
The Pineridge Baptist Association and its member churches stand firmly on the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God — our sole authority for faith and practice. We believe in salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We believe in the autonomy of the local church, the priesthood of all believers, and the urgent call of the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations.
The Bible is the sole written authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
Each local church is self-governing under the Lordship of Christ.
Every believer has direct access to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:9).
Believer's Baptism by immersion and the Lord's Supper (Matthew 28:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
Each person is accountable to God alone in matters of faith.
