What We Believe

We are committed to seeing people repent of their sins, come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and grow in grace and knowledge. As a congregation of the church of the living God we strive to be a pillar and buttress of the truth.

The Triune God: We believe in the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three persons are at the same time distinct, yet also one God. While this is difficult for us to understand, it is true and supported throughout God’s Word (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 48:16). God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth (WSC Q.4) God is the creator and ruler of all things.

The Person and Work of Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the crucified and risen Lord. He is both fully God and fully man, who lived a perfect life, and died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for our sins (John 1:1-18; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 9:11–28; Col. 2:13–15). We acknowledge our total inability to save ourselves and, in faith, depend on Christ alone as our Savior. We acknowledge Him as Covenant Lord in every area of life, and we vow together to advance His Kingdom on earth.

God’s Word, The Bible: Our beliefs all stem from a full commitment to the authority of the Bible as the inerrant, infallible Word of God. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,” 2 Timothy 3:16.

Our Confession: We believe that God desires His Church to set forth clear statements of her system of doctrine that can be supported from Scripture. We therefore make our confession, or subordinate standards, The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Though we take the whole Word of God alone as our only rule of faith, the Confessions further help provide a clear statement of what we understand the Word of God to teach. In addition to these doctrinal statements, we adhere to the Testimony of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, which is our continuing application of God’s written word to the world and the church of today.
