Our Beliefs

Our beliefs are not new. They are as old as the Bible itself. They can especially be traced back to the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, and to its seventeenth century doctrinal statement, the Westminster Confession of Faith (with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms). Our understanding of the great doctrines of the Bible are set forth in these standards.

We also recognize that the Bible is not a dogmatic textbook, but a history of the unfolding and establishment of God's kingdom. Therefore, our teaching and preaching demonstrate how the Bible, from beginning to end, points us to Jesus Christ who inaugurates the kingdom of God by his death and resurrection. In short, our church believes in:  

Scripture Alone
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of the true and living God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We affirm the completeness, finality, and sufficiency of revelation given to us in the Bible.  

Faith Alone
We believe that the only way sinners can draw near to a holy God is to have their sins pardoned and receive the imputed righteousness of Christ. Not even the best of our works can merit this. Justification is by faith alone and is a once-for-all act.  

Grace Alone
We believe in the sovereignty of God in salvation and all things. We affirm the Calvinist doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, definite atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.  

Christ Alone
We believe that the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is about Jesus Christ, the only hope of salvation. Therefore, we preach Christ and not moralism, legalism, or politics. Only when we focus on Christ can we walk worthy of the calling with which we have been called.
