We exist to treasure the Triune God by growing disciples of Jesus Christ who proclaim the gospel and pursue the welfare of our community and the nations.

What We Believe

As a Christian Church we believe that:

  • Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God-breathed, inerrant in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
  • there is one God who eternally exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  • Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man.
  • man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
  • the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood.
  • in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven, and His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
  • in the “blessed hope”; the personal and victorious return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
  • all who are born again of the Holy Spirit, and repent and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, become children of God.
  • in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
  • That God is sovereign and rules over all things in heaven and on earth.

As a Reformed Church:

  • That God is sovereign and rules over all things in heaven and on earth
  • The Bible is truly the word of God and therefore our rule for all matters pertaining to faith and life.
  • Salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone.
  • The Holy Spirit brings us into a living union with Christ through the power of the gospel.
  • The Sacrament of Baptism is for believers and their children according to God’s covenant promises.
  • The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is for professing believers who are in good standing with a gospel believing church.

As a Presbyterian Church:

  • We believe the bible teaches that qualified men are called by God to serve as officers (Elders and Deacons) to lead and govern over Jesus’ church in submission to the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head of His church.
  • We believe the Westminster Confession of Faith and its catechisms are the best summaries of the teachings of the bible.
