Goodwood Baptist Church (GBC) accepts the ‘1689 Baptist Confession‘ as our primary Confession of Faith. This does not mean that you have to agree with every point in this document to become a member, members need to affirm our Basic Statement of Faith. However, all elders and leaders who teach in Goodwood Baptist Church must hold to this beautiful and historic Confession.
