Our Distinctives.

Coram Deo Baptist Church is committed to these distinctives:

Expository Preaching

Expository preaching is the faithful proclamation of God’s Word by explaining the meaning of a biblical text in its original context and applying it to contemporary life. It ensures that the authority of Scripture, not personal opinion, guides the message and shapes the church. This method helps believers grow in sound doctrine, spiritual maturity, and a deeper understanding of God's truth.

Joyfully Reformed

Being joyfully Reformed means embracing the doctrines of grace with a heart full of gratitude, worship, and humility. It emphasizes that God's sovereignty, holiness, and mercy should lead not to pride, but to joyful awe and loving obedience. This posture shapes a community that delights in God’s Word, treasures the gospel, and lives for His glory.

Gospel-Shaped Liturgy

Gospel-shaped liturgy means a corporate worship structure intentionally formed around the message of the gospel, including a number of historic elements of worship: call to worship, singing of the doxology, confession of sin, assurance of forgiveness, weekly observance of the Lord’s supper, and benediction. It centers the elements of the service on the basic structure of the gospel: holy God, sinful man, Christ our savior, and faithful response. This pattern not only teaches the gospel each week but also forms hearts and lives to respond rightly to God’s grace.

Confessional Commitment

Confessional commitment is the devoted alignment with a biblically faithful statement of faith that clearly articulates core Christian doctrines. It provides theological clarity, unity, and accountability for both leaders and congregations. This rootedness guards the church from error and helps pass down sound doctrine to future generations.

Covenantal Community

Covenantal community is a church body united not by preference or convenience, but by a shared commitment to love, serve, and grow together in Christ. It reflects the biblical vision of believers living in mutual responsibility, grace, and accountability under God’s covenant. This kind of community fosters deep relationships, spiritual maturity, and a powerful witness to the world.

Heartfelt Worship

Heartfelt worship is the sincere and passionate response of the heart to the truth of who God is and what He has done. It engages both emotion and understanding, aiming to glorify God in spirit and in truth. This kind of worship shapes believers to love God deeply and live in joyful obedience to Him.
