About the Confession
Subordinate to Scripture
The Confession was first published in 1677 by Particular Baptist churches in London and was publicly affirmed by their assembly in 1689. It has guided Baptist churches for more than three centuries.
At NewSong, the Confession is subordinate to Scripture and derives its authority from Scripture alone. It serves as our doctrinal standard. Each paragraph below lists the passages it rests on, so you can test every line against God's Word.
