Major Doctrine

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds.

We believe man was created in God's image, fell through sin, and is now corrupted in every part of his nature.

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church, the communion of saints, and the forgiveness of sins.

We believe Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

We hold to the absolute authority and inerrancy of Holy Scripture as the only rule of faith and practice.

We affirm God’s absolute sovereignty over all things, including the creation, fall, and redemption of mankind.

We interpret the whole Bible through the lens of God’s covenantal relationships with His people.

We are governed by a session of elders, connecting our congregation to the wider body of Christ in the presbytery.

We adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms as a faithful summary of biblical teaching.

We emphasize the ordinary means of grace: Word, Sacraments, and Prayer. These are central to the life of the believer.

We worship together as whole families, encouraging parents to disciple their children in the gathered life of the church.

We sing the Psalms alongside biblically faithful hymns and songs, so that God’s Word shapes our praise.

It is right to gather on the Lord’s Day for both morning and evening worship, framing the day in prayer, praise, and the preaching of the Word.

We affirm God’s good design for men to lead in the home and church, seeking to model Christlike, courage and sacrificial headship.
