Our Doctrine and Distinctives

We are a reformed Baptist church, although not affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. We believe and teach the doctrines of grace and the sovereignty of God in salvation. While we are Reformed in our soteriology, we are Pre-millennial and Pre-tribulational in our eschatology (see our Doctrinal Statement for details).

We believe and teach the five “solas”: sola scriptura (the Scripture alone), soli deo gloria (for the glory of God alone), sola Christou (by Christ’s work alone), sola fide (by faith alone), and sola gratia (by grace alone).

Baptists have produced several doctrinal statements or confessions. We fully agree with the Second London Baptist Confession of 1689 and the Philadelphia Baptist Confession of 1742, and Arbor Heights Bible Church has adopted the following doctrinal statement as our own confession.
