What We Are About
OUR MISSION: The great purpose towards which each human life is drawn is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. God'd Word: The Authority for Our Confession We glorify God by recognizing and receiving His authoritative self- revelation, both in the infallible Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and also in the incarnation of God the Son. Trinity and Incarnation: The Two Central Christian Mysteries Trinity. With Christians everywhere, we worship the only true God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--who is both one essence and three persons. Incarnation. Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly human. We are able to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and God only through the work of the Holy Spirit. Essentials of the Reformed Tradition: God's grace in Christ The present disordered state of the world, in which we and all things are subject to misery and to evil, is not God's doing, but is rather a result of humanity's free, sinful rebellion against God's will.
WE BELIEVE: Election for Salvation and service Spirit grants us faith and enables holiness, so that we may be witnesses of God's gracious presence to those who are lost. Covenant life in the church. In Christ, we are adopted into the family of God and find our new identity as brothers and sisters of one another, since we now share one Father. Faithful stewardship of all of life Jesus teaches us that we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. There is no part of human life that is off limits to the sanctifying claims of God. Living in obedience to the Word of God Progress in holiness is an expected response of gratitude to the grace of God, which is initiated, sustained, and fulfilled by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.
