We believe the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God, revealing His perfect plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Gospel message proclaims that through Christ's perfect life, sacrificial death, and triumphant resurrection, sinners can be reconciled to God by faith alone. Our doctrinal understanding is faithfully expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith, a historic Reformed document that systematically presents biblical truth. This confession guides our interpretation of Scripture, helping us understand vital doctrines like God's sovereignty, human depravity, Christ's atonement, justification by faith, and the covenant of grace—all for God's glory and our salvation.
We confess full commitment to the authority of the Bible as the inerrant, infallible Word of God. The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith, and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.
We confess that the Lord our God is one LORD. The Scriptures teach that He is the Triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We confess our total inability to save ourselves. We are born in original sin and under the wrath of God. Therefore, we confess that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Christ's sacrifice was once and for all and perfect to save all who call upon Him for salvation. We confess that on the third day He bodily arose from the dead.
We confess Him as our Covenant Lord in every area of life, and we vow together to advance His Kingdom on earth. Our allegiance is to the Lord Jesus Christ. His law for the Christian is the rule for living a sanctified life.
We believe that God desires His Church to set forth clear statements of her system of doctrine that can be supported from Scripture. We therefore accept as our creed, or subordinate standards, The Westminster Confession of Faith, the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, and the Testimony of the RPCNA as faithful summaries of the doctrines and practices set forth in Holy Scripture.
Every nation ought to recognize the Divine institution of civil government, the sovereignty of God exercised by Jesus Christ, and its duty to rule the civil affairs of men in accordance with the will of God. It should enter into covenant with Christ and serve to advance His Kingdom on earth.
We practice exclusive psalmody in worship, singing only the inspired songs of Scripture without instrumental accompaniment. This practice reflects our commitment to worship God according to His Word.
We believe in the importance of covenant theology and its application to family, church, and society. Our history includes standing against slavery and promoting biblical justice in society.
As Reformed Presbyterians, we are heirs of Calvin, Knox, and the Protestant Reformation. We are also known as Covenanters, with a rich history of faithfulness to Christ's Crown and Covenant.
