We Are Covenantal in our View of Scripture
To say we are covenantal means we believe that the unifying principle of the Scriptures is the one Covenant of Grace that God made with Adam in the Covenant of Works, with Noah in the Covenant of Preservation, with Abraham in the Covenant of Promise, with Moses in the Covenant of Law, with David in the Covenant of the Kingdom, with Jesus Christ in the New Covenant to which all the other Covenants pointed and were fulfilled. A covenant is a pledge or bond of loyalty which God made to His people through each of the above named persons. The covenant is a relationship of loving loyalty that God has initiated with His people throughout human history. To speak of the unity of the covenants means that there is one way and one way only to salvation in both Old and New Testaments - that is, by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. This covenantal understanding of the Bible is in distinction from any system of organizing the Scriptures which would attribute differing ways of salvation to a succession of historical Biblical eras.
We Are Reformed in our View of History and Life
The word REFORMED can be defined simply in two ways: 1) it is a reference to our historical link to the Reformation of the 16th century and intends to describe us as the heirs of that tradition which comes from Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox and other reformers. 2) The word REFORMED is used most commonly to refer to certain theological distinctives which have marked reformation believers, particularly those in the Calvinist tradition.
These distinctives can be summarized by our glad affirmation of the responsibility of every person to repent and believe, and that it is God who, by His sovereign electing grace, draws men and women, otherwise dead in sin, to faith in His Son. By this faith alone are God's people justified.
Reformed distinctives include the sovereignty of God in His creation, providence and election of believers apart from any merit of their own; the irresistible grace of God provided for and preceding the faith of the individual; the sufficiency of God's grace apart from which man is dead in sin and wholly defiled in all his faculties of soul and body; the efficacy of Christ's death for all those who believe in Him by grace; the safe-guarding of all those for whom Christ died for eternal life.
We seek to hold to our reformed convictions humbly and graciously as we recognize the sincerity and earnestness of Godly men and women who have other positions.
So it is that we are Committed to the Past . . . Preparing for the Future.
SEMPER REFORMANDA . . . We are reformed and always reforming.
We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The PCA's motto is: “True to the Scriptures, the Reformed faith, and obedient to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ." To learn more about what we believe, take a look at the doctrinal statement of our church, The Westminster Confession of Faith.
