Our Doctrine


Our church is committed to the beliefs of the Westminster Confession of Faith and all the doctrinal statements of Reformed Theology. The church is defined by its outlook on Scripture, and it is our conviction that the Word of God is infallible and inerrant; God’s authoritative word to His people.

Our beliefs


The Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

The Holy Trinity: There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

All are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.

Salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.

God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

The Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

Jesus will return bodily and visibly to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

All aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

 

Official Statement Regarding Racial Injustice

In response to the national unrest due to the systemic racial injustice against our African American brothers and sisters, we would like to make the following statement as a church:

  1. We believe that every individual of every race has dignity and worth because God has created us in His image (Gen. 1:26-27).

  2. Therefore, we believe that racism is sin!

  3. We repent of our own racism and humbly ask God to forgive us.

  4. We grieve, mourn, and lament with our African American brothers and sisters (Rom. 12:15).

  5. We will strive to be a counter-cultural church where people of all races are loved and welcomed (Col. 3:11, Gal. 3:28).

  6. We believe that at the root of the systemic injustice is sin, and so we believe that the church’s role is to proclaim the gospel [which includes a call to repentance from sin and turning to Christ in faith] and to make disciples of Jesus who love justice (Matt. 28:18-20).

  7. And as the church proclaims the gospel, makes disciples and prays, its members, disciples of Christ, are called to go out into their spheres of influence and bring the gospel to bear—including working to bring equal rights for our African American brothers and sisters (Micah 6:8).
