What we believe
From its inception in early 1987, the Alliance has stood for those values that have distinguished the Baptist movement from its beginnings nearly four centuries ago - the freedom and accountability of every individual in matters of faith; the freedom of each congregation under the authority of Jesus Christ to determine its own ministry and mission; and religious freedom for all in relationship to the state.
At the same time, we have acknowledged our interdependence as Baptists with the whole people of God regardless of denominational designation. As a result, we have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams with growing relationships with other Baptist bodies, the larger church and beyond.
These are the values that have brought together a band of Baptist believers who are at once committed to historic principles and dedicated to the building of bridges between our own noble tradition and the rest of God's people.
If these are your values as well, we hope you will consider this as our invitation to join us.
