What we believe
We are a Christian church
Together with Christians throughout the ages, we worship the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We thank God for the rich heritage of the church from the last two millennia, and we joyfully affirm the historic Christian creeds – the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Chalcedonian Creed.
We are an Evangelical church
The word “evangelical” comes from a Greek word meaning “gospel” or “good news”. As an evangelical church we are committed to the content, proclamation, and demonstration of the good news about Jesus: his life, death, resurrection, ascension, present reign, and future return in glory.
As an evangelical church, we believe that the Bible is God’s word, and therefore our ultimate authority in every area of life. We seek to understand and apply the ancient words of Scripture as the Lord’s wisdom to every aspect of the modern world.
We are a Reformed church
We are grateful to stand in the vibrant tradition of the Protestant Reformation, when many vital aspects of the Bible’s teaching were rediscovered. In particular, we find much of the Bible’s teaching to be well expressed in the great Reformed confessions, including the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Three Forms of Unity.
We are a member church of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), a Presbyterian denomination with member churches all over the US, as well as other countries as far afield as Ukraine, Japan, Russia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and the Philippines.
