A Church that is clear about its Faith:
We believe the Bible to be God’s
inerrant and inspired word (II Timothy 3:16,17). From
this formal principle of the reformation flow all the
doctrinal truths common to biblical Presbyterian and
Reformed churches found in the
Westminster Confession of Faith and catechisms.
We believe that God made covenant promises in his
word. We believe that God kept his promises to
Adam and Eve, to Abraham, to Israel, and to David that
he would send the Christ (Messiah) to be the savior of
the world. We believe that Jesus Christ, the
very Son of God, took to himself a human life, lived a
perfectly righteous life, died, and was raised from the
dead that the promise to Abraham might upon all who
believe in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:13,14). We
believe the promises of Christ that his perfect
obedience and sacrificial death satisfied God’s just
demands against our sin if we trust and obey Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that no
one can save himself from the curse of sin and the wrath
of God due to it. Our only hope is in the grace of God
alone by faith alone.
We believe that public worship should be
Christ centered. God made all of his creation to
glorify him (Revelation 4:11). We glorify God most when
we worship him as he instructed us in his word, the
Bible. Our worship and praise should focus on him (John
4:23,24). Because God speaks to us by his word, worship
should climax with Christ exalting expository
preaching. Because Jesus Christ is our only Prophet,
Priest, and King, his is our only mediator before God.
You are invited to join us in reverent and holy worship.
We
believe that a church should exhibit caring covenant
fellowship. God wants his people to enjoy him forever.
To that end, God made a covenant with believers in Jesus
Christ that they receive his blessings (Galatians
3:13-18). By this covenant in Jesus Christ believers
are brought into a relationship with God and with one
another. We seek to nurture a church wide fellowship
that is family oriented, supportive, and caring by
including all believers into the whole covenant family
of God. You are invited to join God’s covenant family.
A Church that is clear about its Mission:
We believe in life changing
evangelism. We believe that God effectually calls men,
women, and children out of their sin by the Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin,
enlightens us in the knowledge of Christ and renews our
wills (John 16:5-15). We boldly proclaim that all people
must repent of their sin and believe in Jesus Christ.
We believe that all of life must be brought under the
Lordship of Christ and that Christ’s spiritual kingdom
will triumph over the entire world. You are invited to
come and to share our commitment to advancing Christ’s
kingdom through prayer, word, and deed in our community
and throughout the world.
We
believe Biblical and practical teaching produces true
Christian growth. We are committed to faithfully
teaching the whole message of the whole Bible to the
whole person. Growth must be matured God’s way. Elders
called by Christ and elected by the congregation provide
training and corrective oversight for the spiritual life
of the church. Spiritual growth is also nurtured by
compassionate ministry to others. You are invited to
come and to grow with us.
Won’t you join us?
