What We Believe

We believe Holy Scripture is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

We confess the historic Christian faith expressed in the ancient creeds and embrace the Reformed theology summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Doctrinal Summary

A concise summary of the faith we confess, rooted in Holy Scripture and expressed in the Reformed tradition.

01Holy Scripture

The Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and the supreme authority for Christian faith, worship, and life.

2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Westminster ch. 1

02The Triune God

There is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

03Creation, Providence, and the Fall

God created all things good and governs His creation in wisdom. Humanity fell into sin in Adam and stands in need of redemption.

Romans 5 · Westminster chs. 4–6

04Jesus Christ and Redemption

Jesus Christ is true God and true man, the only Mediator between God and man. Through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension, He accomplishes redemption for His people.

Hebrews 1 · Westminster ch. 8

05Salvation by Grace

Salvation is God’s gracious work, received through faith in Jesus Christ. Justification rests on Christ and His righteousness, not human merit.

Ephesians 2:8–10 · Westminster chs. 10–18

06Covenant Theology

God’s saving work unfolds through His covenant promises, culminating in Jesus Christ and the New Covenant.

Acts 2:39 · Westminster chs. 7 and 28

07The Church

The Church is Christ’s body and covenant people, gathered under His Word, governed by biblical officers, and sustained through the ministry of Word and Sacrament.

Ephesians 4 · Westminster chs. 25–26, 30–31

08Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

Christ instituted Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as covenant signs and seals. Baptism marks entrance into the visible covenant community; the Supper is the covenant meal in which Christ nourishes His people.

Matthew 28:18–20 · Westminster chs. 27–29

09Worship and the Lord’s Day

The Church is called to gather on the Lord’s Day for the worship of God through Scripture, prayer, preaching, singing, and the Sacraments.

Acts 2:42 · Westminster ch. 21

10The Reign and Return of Christ

Jesus Christ is presently reigning at the right hand of the Father. Through His gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit, we expect His Kingdom to grow among the nations and increasingly bear fruit in the life of the world. We labor in this hope until He returns in glory to judge the living and the dead.

Psalm 110 · Westminster chs. 32–33
