We are part of the Conservative Baptist Association of America. There are dozens of Baptist denominations but the CBA movement is unique in that it is more a loose association of churches under a common creed and doctrinal stance then a denomination. Each church is completely autonomous and takes on the philosophy and unique finger print of God for the church and area of ministry. An acronym for BAPTIST might be, the authority, sufficiency and inherency of the BIBLE, the AUTHORITY of the Scriptures and of the church as well as the ASSURANCE of the believer, the PRIESTHOOD of the believer, the TWO ORDINANCES of the church, being baptism by immersion and communion, INTERDEPENDENCE realizing we are not the only church in town we are to cooperate as a vital part of the Bride of Christ with other Bible believing faithful churches as partners in the work of the ministry to Kingman as our Jerusalem, SEPARATION from the world the flesh and the devil, and lastly, TRUE BELIEVERS. We seek to be balanced between Spirit and Truth. It’s not either or it’s both. Too far on the Spirit side is license and a spirit of liberty that drifts dangerously from the truth of God’s Word. Too far on the truth side leads to legalism and a spirit of the letter of the law that stifles and condemns rather than encourages and builds up the believer.
