What we believe

Above all, our faith is centered in Christ. Every need of ours finds its answer in Jesus Christ. The final authority in the Reformed faith is the Holy Scripture, the living Word of God, spoken to everyone through the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and makes it real and actual in our lives. This has always been and will always be the authentic wellspring of the Reformed Faith. Below are two creeds that sum up what we as a church profess.

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of
heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended
into hell. The third day He arose again from the
dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the
right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence
He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I
believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic
church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness
of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father
Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, and of all things visible and
invisible. And in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only-begotten Son of
God, begotten of the Father before
all worlds; God of God, Light of
Light, very God of very God;
begotten, not made, being of one
substance with the Father, by
whom all things were made. Who,
for us men and for our salvation,
came down from heaven, and was
incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the
virgin Mary, and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under
Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was
buried; and the third day He rose
again, according to the Scriptures;
and ascended into heaven, and sits
on the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again, with
glory, to judge the quick and the
dead; whose kingdom shall have
no end. And I believe in the Holy
Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life;
who proceeds from the Father and
the Son; who with the Father and
the Son together is worshipped
and glorified; who spoke by the
prophets. And I believe one holy
catholic and apostolic Church. I
acknowledge one baptism for the
remission of sins; and I look for the
resurrection of the dead, and the
life of the world to come. Amen.
