WHO WE ARE:
We are a Reformed Christian Church. Reformed because our heritage is connected to the Protestant Reformation. We emphasize that the Bible is the Word of God, the final authority for what we believe and how we live. In and through the Bible, God, by the Holy Spirit, reveals the truth about himself and speaks to us today. Christian because Jesus Christ is central to our lives as Lord
and Savior. He is the One in whom we trust and whom we strive to obey. Because we love Jesus we want to share with others the message of forgiveness and new life in Christ. Church because God has gathered us from different backgrounds and from all walks of life into the one world-wide family of those who belong to Christ. We have been brought together by God's Spirit, and commit ourselves to mutual support and to service in our community and the world. WHOM WE BELIEVE:
We believe in God the Father who has created the world and governs all things. He is our faithful Father. We believe in God the Son who came to earth as Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ we see the love of God. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. He rose from the dead to give us new life. We believe that through faith in Jesus Christ we receive the forgiveness of sins. As such, salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Christ. It is not a reward for good works. We believe that because of Jesus Christ, we already now share in the gift of eternal life, and will one day be raised from the dead to be with him in heaven. We believe in God the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer and continually nurtures us so that we may grow in our understanding of God and the faithfulness in his service. WHAT WE BELIEVE:
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It reveals all we need to know and serve God. We believe that the Church includes all who confess Jesus Christ as Savior and serve him as Lord. Through the ministry of the Church, God is calling people everywhere to believe in Jesus and live for him.
โข A summary of this faith is found in three creeds we share with Christian churches throughout the world. They are the Apostles' Creed, The Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed.
โข We also profess three confessions from the Reformation. They are the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort.
โข We celebrate two sacraments, Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.
