Episode Five: Why A Confession?
As we prepare to adopt Bylaws as a Church, we have discussed subscribing as a Church to a historic confession of faith. This video contains some discussion around why we might consider a confession of faith as well as the varying degrees of subscription to a confession (ie. how much agreement to a confession will we require?). The primary Confession we are consider is the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. You can find the handout for our class here.
