We adhere to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, also called the Second London Baptist Confession, which was written by Particular Baptists to give a formal expression of their Christian faith from a Baptist perspective.

The confession was first published in London in 1677 under the title “A confession of Faith put forth by the Elders and Brethren of many Congregations of Christians, Baptized upon Profession of their Faith in London and the Country.” The confession was published again, under the same title, in 1688 and 1689.

In 1689 representatives from over 100 Particular Baptist churches met together in London to discuss and endorse the 1677 document. Despite the fact that the document was written in 1677, the official preface to the document has ensured that it would be known as the “1689 Baptist Confession of Faith”.
