Basswood Church is a Reformed Baptist congregation that holds firmly to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture in all matters of faith and practice. We believe the Bible is God's perfect revelation to humanity. It is clear enough for salvation, comprehensive enough for life, and powerful enough to transform hearts and minds. This conviction shapes everything we do, from our preaching and teaching to our decision-making and discipleship. We often say, "Show it to me from the Bible." This comes from our commitment to grounding every belief and practice in God's Word rather than human tradition or contemporary trends.
As Baptists, we practice believer's baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ's command. Our church is led by a plurality of elders who shepherd the congregation through teaching, prayer, and pastoral care. We take church membership seriously, viewing it as a covenant relationship where believers commit to mutual care, accountability, and shared mission in the body of Christ.
