Main Street Baptist Church is driven by the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over his enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.

You can read more about our beliefs in our statement of faith, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
