What we believe
Anchored in the good news.
We hold to the historic Christian faith, with the gospel of Jesus Christ at the center of everything we do.
We begin with the Apostles' Creed to affirm the basic elements of Christianity. The Creed summarizes what Christians of all times, in all places have affirmed — "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). It is a clear, memorable, biblical summary of the gospel, originating as a baptismal confession and voiced by Christians all over the world as a confession of their faith. Read the Apostles' Creed →
We are a church, in the Baptist tradition, deeply committed to gospel renewal. As a confessional people, we affirm the value of historic, doctrinal statements that clarify our beliefs and help us remain faithful to Holy Scripture. The Baptist Faith & Message serves as our guiding confessional statement, and Cave Spring Baptist Church partners with the Southern Baptist Convention and the SBC of Virginia. Read the BF&M 2000 →
As our confessional statement guides our beliefs, our church covenant reminds us how to relate to one another. It puts our commitment to one another in the biblical terms of faithfulness, brotherly love, gathered worship, service, burden-bearing, giving, and mission. If you are considering church membership, a willingness to commit oneself to covenant membership is a good sign of readiness. Read our church covenant →
