• Biblical
  
  
• Reformed
  
  
• Trinitarian
  
  
• Confessional

Biblical

We hold the Bible to be the Inspired, Inerrant, and Infallible Word of the Living God, and its doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Christ, the only perfect and true doctrine.

Reformed

While our ecclesiastical history traces its beginnings through German Protestant immigrants in Colonial America, our doctrinal standards are those of the Sixteenth Century Protestant Reformation (hence the name "Reformed").

Trinitarian

With the believing Church of all generations, we worship Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the One True God Who has revealed Himself in Three Persons.

Confessional

We are ready to "give an answer for the hope that is within us." While there is great liberty in the Reformed Church, there is also unity in matters of essential doctrine. Our written confessions of faith include the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort.

We take our confessional statements seriously, and we seek to apply sound biblical principles to the issues that confront our families, church, community, and nation. Holding fast to the firm foundation of God's unchanging Word, we make no apology of our lack of "trendiness" or "political correctness."

Because we are Biblical and confessional, we apply our faith in every area of life. For example, we believe the Bible . . .

• Teaches that man is saved by grace rather than works
  
  
• Supports the right-to-life of unborn children
  
  
• Expects fathers to exercise headship in the home
  
  
• Promotes Christian education
  
  
• Teaches six-day creation
  
  
• Proclaims God-centered worship rather than man-centered entertainment

What is your only comfort in life and in death?

That I, with body and soul, both in life and in death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, who with His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and redeemed me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me, that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must work together for my salvation. Wherefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live unto Him.

Heidelberg Catechism, 1563
