About Us

Mission Statement.

Our hope and prayer in this Blog is that it will bring glory to God, and that through it, sharpen each other in things pertaining to the faith. In this blog, approved people will post things that they have been learning in the scriptures lately, so that all can benefit.


We are Reformed Baptists, and hold to the 1689 London Baptist confession of faith. We believe that the scriptures are infallible, and are without flaw. We believe in the five solas of the Reformation1, along with TULIP2 as well.

The Moderators are; Matthew Carmichael, and Daniel Risler. If you would like to become a Moderator so that you may post, please email me at mattchewc@gmail.com .
