Stranraer Baptist Church has recently joined the Baptist Union of Scotland, and as a member church we would hold to the beliefs outlined below:-

Baptists believe in the truths expressed in the historic creeds of the Church. They lay a particular emphasis on the importance of personal faith in Jesus Christ, as Saviour and Lord, and on the Bible as God's Word, guiding the conduct of individuals and the life of the church. One of the distinctive features of Baptist church life is their practice of Christian Baptism. They follow the New Testament pattern of baptising those who have come to personal faith in Jesus Christ. Believer's Baptism is normally by total immersion in water.

Baptists also lay stress on the responsibility of each local church to govern its own life and affairs but in relationship with other Baptists.
