Beliefs

Biblical Confessional Reformed

  • We believe 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.

  • We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.

  • We believe that 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.

  • We believe that 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.

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

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

  • We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

  • We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

For more in depth reading, our doctrine is expressed in the Westminster Standards. We also affirm the Three Forms of Unity of the Reformed Churches in the The Heidelberg Catechism,
 The Canons of Dordt
, and The Belgic Confession.

Additional Biblical and Theological Commitments

We affirm that human life is sacred, having been made in the image and likeness of God, begins at conception. Consequently, abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide or other similar actions or inactions are sins against God.

We affirm that God made humans either male or female, and that the terms ‘gender’ and ‘biological sex’ are synonymous and describe the same physical reality. Therefore, as there are only two biological sexes, there are only two genders.

We affirm that marriage is a holy and sacred institution, designed and ordained by God, and righteously consists only in the one-flesh union of a biological male and a biological female. Furthermore, we affirm that any sexual activity or sexual union that occurs outside of the boundaries of holy matrimony are inherently sinful.
