For Baptists, the concept of family is important and we consider ourselves to be a part of a family of believers, committed to Christ and to each other in order to serve God in the world, with the local church at the core of our identity.

Because Baptists are a type of Christian, they have many beliefs in common with other Christians. They believe in a single god, and that he exists in a trinity made up of the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, as well as that all human beings sin, and that salvation is gained by faith in Jesus.
