About Us
Many people are disillusioned with how far modern evangelical and fundamental Christianity has deviated from historic Christianity. They are sickened by the man-centered worship of the church and want to return to God-centered worship.
We are thankful that in recent years, God has created a hunger for the return to genuine biblical principles. The great gospel truths of Scripture alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and faith alone are beginning to stir the church again as they did in the 1500’s, 1600’s and 1700’s.
Wilderness Road Baptist is a Reformed independent local congregation committed to historic evangelical Christianity and historic Baptist principles. We are thankful for our rich heritage and recognize the importance of the Baptist Confessions of the past and look to them as our guides, and not our lords.
We, hold to a historic Baptist position both in faith and practice which is best expressed in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 and in it’s abbreviated form found in the 1858 Abstract of Principles. However, Christ alone is our Lord and King and the Holy Scriptures are the only Scepter of His kingdom. Our consciences are bound only to the authority of this King and this Scepter. We cannot and do not recognize the authority of any earthly religious council. Every church, therefore, when it expresses its beliefs, expresses simply the faith of its own members. We therefore exercise the liberty of soul in loving disagreement with those areas where these historic confessions may differ from what we believe is taught by the Holy Scripture.
We welcome those who hold to the great doctrines of the faith but we will admit none to our fellowship who would attempt to draw us into “doubtful disputations” . We believe there should be “Unity in things essential, liberty in things non-essential, and charity in all things”. Here we stand; we cannot do otherwise; God help us.
