Hamilton Square Baptist Church3752 Nottingham Way Hamilton Square, NJ 08690 Tel. 609.587.8585 Fax 609.838.7159 E-Mail: Hamilton Square Baptist Church American Baptists worship the triune God of the Bible, who is eternally one God in three persons. This one, true God is most clearly revealed to us in the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. American Baptists proclaim the Good News of the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, knowing that salvation (forgiveness of sins, release from guilt and condemnation, reconciliation with God) and eternal life are granted in grace to all who trust Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. This Gospel is the central message of the Bible. We are ... A Redeemed People who claim a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ; who follow the Lord on believer's baptism; who share in the meal of the kingdom known as the Lord's Supper; who honor the priesthood of all believers; and who continually try to live our faith as visible saints. A Biblical People who affirm the centrality of Scripture in our lives; who pursue the study of God's inspired Word as a mandate for faith and practice; and who seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the understanding of Scripture, while respecting the common interpretation of Scripture within the community of believers. A Worshipping People who gather regularly to praise God; who believe that personal devotion brings vitality to corporate celebration. A Mission People who strive to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples; and who seek justice for all persons; and provide prayer and financial support to sustain a worldwide mission outreach. A Caring People who care for the needy, the weak, and the oppressed; and who care for the earth and for all creatures. An Inclusive People who are blessed in being the most diverse denomination; and who affirm the ordination of women, practiced by our denomination for more than a century. |
