The tenents of faith at Colonial are your usual Baptist, conservative beliefs. What makes Colonial different is the incredible energy and spirituality you'll find there. They welcome everyone warmly and are very accepting and encouraging, even if you're up front that you do not plan to become a member because of a disagreement with a particular belief - they still want you to come and participate. I think it's the only "mega-church" in the Triangle - it is really big (several thousand visitors each Sunday morning). And it is growing fast. Despite that, it's still a place where you can easily get to know people. There are lots of great bible studies to choose from. The best things about Colonial are the incredible pastor, Stephen Davies (who has been speaking on Romans for about 6 years now) - he really knows the book and history, and he's terrific at teaching. The other fantastic thing about Colonial is the high uality of the worship leaders. The band and choir are terrific - it's like going to a concert on Sunday mornings.
