This is a sovereign Baptist church under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  The membership retains unto itself the exclusive right of self-government in all phases of the spiritual and temporal life of this church. The final authority for all matters, both spiritual and temporal, is the Holy Bible. In case of interpretive differences, the church council is the final authority on interpretation of Scripture.

Morgan Road Baptist Church holds as its Articles of Faith, the guidelines laid out in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
