What We Believe

Hillview Baptist Church holds to the doctrines of grace as summarized in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith — the confessional standard historically held by Particular (Reformed) Baptist churches.

The heart of what we confess

• Scripture — The Bible alone is the final authority for what we believe and how we live, sufficient and inerrant in its original writing.
• God — One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, sovereign over all things.
• Salvation — Sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — not by any works of our own.
• The Church — A gathered body of baptized believers, governed by qualified elders, practicing believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper.
• The Ordinances — Baptism by immersion, upon a credible profession of faith, and the Lord's Supper as a means of grace and remembrance.
