Morningside Baptist Church has adopted the Baptist Faith and Message of the
Southern Baptist Convention (2000) as our Statement of Faith. Click below to
read this very clear statement of our doctrinal beliefs.
Morningside Baptist Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention
(SBC). Although there are over 40,000 churches that make up the SBC, each
church is autonomous, meaning that each church is self-governed under the
direction of the Holy Scripture and Christ, who is the true head of the church.
The SBC has no authority over local churches. It is simply an association of
Baptist churches who combine their gifts and resources to share the message of
Christ around the world.
Southern Baptists work together to lead people to receive Jesus Christ as
Savior, since the Bible teaches that no one can know God apart from knowing
Jesus Christ. The following links will help you know more about Southern
Baptists and the ministries that our church supports by being affiliated with
the SBC.
