If I'm not sure where I stand, but I want to learn more about Reformed Theology. Can I come? 

Yes, we would love to meet you. Please contact us

Do you have Sunday worship services? 

No. We currently only meet for dinner, followed by praise, prayer and study of God's word on Friday or Saturday evenings.

Do you have a pastor? 

No. We are in the nascent stages of planting a Reformed Baptist church. Our group consists of unordained laymen. 

Where can I learn more about Reformed Baptist theology or its distinctives?

First, we would commend reading the Scriptures prayerfully and piously from cover to cover using a bible reading plan such as the M'Cheyne Plan.  There is nothing more beneficial to the soul than to thoroughly know God's word. 

After all, Reformed Baptist theology is founded upon the Scriptures alone, and not upon the imaginations of men. By becoming well-acquainted with the whole bible, both Old and New Testaments, you will no doubt come to understand the precious truths of Reformed theology.

Other Reformed baptist pastors:

-Charles Spurgeon, John Gill, John Bunyan, Arthur Pink, Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, Albert Martin, 

Sermons: 

-we strongly recommend the entire collection of brother Paul Washer's recorded messages on SermonAudio. 

Regarding the 1689 Baptist confession of faith:

-Samuel Waldron's "Modern Exposition of the 1689 confession"

-James Reinihan's "Confessing the faith: Volume 2" 

Books: 

-The Gospel's power and message, The Gospel call and true conversion, The Gospel assurance and warnings (trilogy by Paul Washer)

-Pilgrim's Progress 

Commentaries:

-Freely access these invaluable verse-by-verse commentaries of the entire bible by God-fearing men of old, including John Gill, John Calvin, Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry.  https://www.studylight.org/commentaries.html

How are Reformed Baptists different to other Reformed denominations like Presbyterians, Anglicans or Dutch Reformed? 

Reformed Baptists would largely agree in most aspects of Reformed theology with our dearly beloved brethren in other Reformed churches. But we must humbly maintain that God has only commanded those who have believed on the Lord Jesus, who demonstrate 'repentance towards God and faith towards Christ', who can provide 'an answer of a good conscience toward God', who are born again of the Holy Spirit, who are soundly regenerated, to be adequate recipients of water baptism.  

We reject infant baptism. We practice 'Believer's baptism'. 

Believer's baptism is mandated by both the Regulative Principle of Worship  and the amazing newness of the New Covenant in Christ, which is vastly different and greater than the previous covenants given to the forefathers in the Old Testament. In the New Covenant, God says: "I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." (Hebrews 8:10, Jeremiah 31:33). Water baptism is the outward representation of the inward work of the Holy Spirit, who has written God's word upon our hearts, who has made us alive from the dead, and unblinded our eyes. Water baptism symbolises the Spiritual baptism that true believers in Christ have received (Ephesians 1:13-14). The Holy Spirit only dwells in those who are 'in Christ' (Romans 8:9), who 'do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit' (Romans 8:4), who are 'buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.' (Romans 6:4). 

The biblical order for baptism is: Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Thus water baptism is followed by repentance. It is an outward sign of that amazing inward reality of having been baptised with the Holy Spirit, having experienced new birth, which God has wrought in a believer. Having been born again, the believer is enabled to repent and believe, and is then commanded to be baptised, as a symbol of the spiritual reality that their sins have been washed away in Christ. Therefore, the scriptural sequence is to first hear the gospel, then respond in repentance and faith, and then be baptised. 

For those who wish to delve deeply into the differences between Presbyterian versus Baptist covenant theology, or how Reformed Baptists differ with our beloved Presbyterian friends on infant baptism, we commend Brandon Adams' websites: https://www.1689federalism.com/ and https://contrast2.wordpress.com/author/contrast2/

Do you offer Creche or child-minding services?

No. We do not have capacity for a dedicated Creche. We warmly welcome large families to attend our meetings, for 'out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants He has ordained strength' (Psalm 8).
