Bethel Missionary Baptist Church
Articles of Faith

Bethel Missionary Baptist Church adheres to the New Hampshire Baptist Confession of 1833. This Confession was drawn up by the Rev. John Newton Brown, D. D., of New Hampshire about 1833, and was adopted by the New Hampshire Convention, and widely accepted by Baptists, especially in the Northern and Western States, as a clear and concise statement of their faith, in harmony with the doctrines of older confessions, but expressed in milder form. It may have gone nearly unnoticed outside of the New Hampshire Convention had it not been for the prominence it gained once it was printed in Pendelton's Church Manual.
