What We Believe

 

  • SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD: God is the supreme authority throughout the universe.

 

  • THE AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURE: Our knowledge of God and God's purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ. 

 

  • JUSTIFICATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH: Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is God's generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments.

 

  • THE PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS: It is everyone's job - ministers and lay people alike - to share this Good News with the whole world. That is why the Presbyterian church is governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, both men and women.
