Our Statement of Faith:
EBC is a Reformed Baptist Church. You will find a helpful explanation of what this is in the article entitled ‘What is a Reformed Baptist Church?’. Here is a brief summary of what we believe:
The inspiration, infallibility, and authority of the Bible.
That there is one eternal God who exists in Three Persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit).
The absolute sovereignty of God.
The deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary death, His physical resurrection, and His ascension into heaven.
The present session of Jesus Christ in heaven and His future return to judge the world and to consummate His kingdom.
That salvation is by the sovereign grace of God alone, on the basis of the atoning sacrifice of Christ, and wholly apart from human merit.
That God commands all men everywhere to repent and to believe the Gospel.
That the church is composed of those who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and submit to His rule and authority as set forth in the Scriptures.
That Christians have the solemn obligation to conduct themselves at all times in a manner worthy of the Gospel they profess to believe.

As a Reformed Baptist congregation we hold to the Second London Baptist Confession of 1689. In the Confession, you will find a more extensive description of our beliefs.

Our Local History:
In 1934 the Lord brought together small groups of Christians to meet in their homes to pray about establishing a witness for Christ in the Englewood community. The following year, Englewood Baptist Temple constituted with 33 believers. Eventually the name was changed to Englewood Baptist Church. Since those early days, EBC has seen many changes. But throughout the years a commitment to follow the Holy Scriptures has been maintained. The most recent chapter in its history of changes commenced in 1985 when the church began to reform its ministry to conform more thoroughly to the teaching of the Bible. The process of reformation continued for several years until the church became what is commonly referred to as “Reformed Baptist.”
