Our Beliefs
"Be ye doers of the word, and not merely
hearers........"
James 1:22 (NRSV)
As reformed Christians, we believe in the sovereignty of God and
in the Word, sacraments and prayer as vehicles of divine revelation to
us. We also receive and adopt the Creeds and Confessions of the
Presbyterian Church (USA). These tenets of faith show us to be
God's children in need of redemption from a broken world. We
believe further that we are elected and drawn by God to an acceptance of
reconciliation through the birth, death, and resurrection of our Savior
by which we are given a place, through grace, as members of the body of
Christ. Finally, we believe that since we are called to a life of
Christian service, we are gifted and empowered lovingly to carry out
God's will on earth and to work for the coming of the divine kingdom as
a hallmark of our gratitude and in order that God may be glorified.
The breadth and depth of the Word, Christ
revealed to us, is without limit. It is love and ministry.
It is worship and truth. It is prayer and grace. It is
reconciliation and redemption. It is complete. |
