Our Theology

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that we are all sinners and are totally unable to do anything to save ourselves from God’s displeasure. We live and breathe by his free mercy alone.

We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, in accordance with His own will, and not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone for salvation. We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him. We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself. We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

We believe the fullest and best summation of our doctrine can be found in the Westminster Standards: the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechism.
