We are a church that is dedicated to the basic teachings of reformed theology. This is the teaching which came out of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation. In fact, many churches trace their roots to this sixteenth-century movement: Lutheran, Reformed, Presbyterian, Anglican. Perhaps the most famous of the reformers was Martin Luther, whose writings concerning the church and how a sinner i
s made right with God marked the beginning of the Reformation. Luther emphasized that a sinner was justified (that is made right with God) by God's grace alone, "The righteousness of God is that righteousness whereby, through grace and sheer mercy, He justifies us by faith." God used many others to proclaim the message of the Gospel as well: John Calvin, John Knox, Ulrich Zwingli, John Huss, Martin Bucer, and others.
