Our beliefs all stem from a commitment to the authority of
the Bible as the true, complete and perfect Word of God. This
means that we believe in the Triune God: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. We acknowledge our inability to save ourselves
and, in faith, depend on Christ alone as our Savior. We acknowledge
Him as Lord in every area of life, and we vow together to
advance His Kingdom on earth.
Doctrine
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 a summary of Biblical
doctrine these subordinate standards:
• The
Westminster Confession of Faith
• Constitution
of the RPCNA
• Larger
Catechism
•
Shorter
Catechism
Worship
We believe that worship of the living God is our highest purpose
as His redeemed people. In the Bible, God describes how He
is to be worshiped. God is the central focus and His Word
directs the content of our worship. This is true in the reading
and preaching of the Scriptures, as well as in our musical
praise which is from the divinely inspired Psalms of the Bible.
In keeping with the New Testament exhortation to sing praise
with the "fruit of lips that gives thanks to His name,"
we sing without the aid of musical instruments; this is a
manner also consistent with the Christian church's practice
through many centuries.
