1. We are a Christian church, evangelical in faith, seeking to make and
to be disciples of Jesus Christ
a. We
believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, revealing our creation, fall,
redemption and restoration. (See Chicago Statement)
b. Scripture’s
teachings are best summarized in the creeds of the historic Church: the
Apostles’ & Nicene Creeds
2. We are a Reformed church, covenantal in theology and practice
a. We
interpret the Bible the way the Reformers of the 16th century did,
especially as laid out in their confessions and catechisms (Westminster,
Heidelberg, etc.). We teach and practice paedo-baptism and paedo–communion.
3. We are a family-affirming church, reinforcing Biblical family
authority
a. We worship together as families, without age-segregated
programs or Sunday Schools
b. We affirm Biblical roles of manhood and womanhood (see
Danvers statement)
4. We are a liturgical church, with a participatory worship service and
weekly Communion
