Beliefs

Overview

Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church is protestant, evangelical, and baptist. That means we believe that:

  • The Bible is the final resource for all we believe and desire to practice.
  • There is one true God who created us, loves us, and sustains our lives every day.
  • We owe this God (Father, Son, and Spirit) the highest love, obedience, and praise.
  • We recognize that we all fail miserably in doing the above.
  • We, therefore, deserve God's punishment for our sins.
  • God loves us enough that, in spite of our sin, He desires to forgive and restore us.
  • He did so by sending Jesus to live without sin, to die in our place, and to rise on the third day.
  • All who repent of sin and entrust themselves to God's mercy and goodness are forgiven fully, declared right in God's sight, and ensured of eternal life with God in heaven.
  • For fuller statements of our beliefs and practices, please download our Articles of Faith, our Member's Covenant, and our Constitution, or read them in the tabs below.
