What We Believe
With the Global Church:
Presbyterians, as with all Christians, believe in three essential doctrines.
In these three beliefs we stand side by side with Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and other Protestant churches as part of God’s one church.
​
1. Jesus is the center of our faith and his death and resurrection are the cornerstone of our ministry.
​​
2. The Bible is God’s story about Jesus and humanity and it contains everything necessary for salvation.
​​
3. God is to be understood as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The mystery of the trinity is that God is one, three-in-one.
With Protestant Churches:
The focus of protestant churches is a preeminence of 5 doctrines, often call the “5 Solas.”
These set us apart from the Catholic and Orthodox churches in understanding and practice, but do not break the bond of unity we share in Christ.
They were developed during the Protestant Reformation.
​
1. “Faith alone” (Sola Fide) The Bible is clear that we are saved by faith, not by works, or merit.
​​
2. “Grace alone” (Sola Gratia) Jesus gives us salvation for free, even though we do not deserve it.
​​
3. “Scripture alone” (Sola Scriptura) The Bible is our sole authority in matters of faith and practice, not the church leaders or institutional traditions.
​
4. “Christ alone” (Solo Christo) Jesus is the founder and perfecter of our faith and all the church follows him and not the will of rulers or governments.
​​
5. “Glory to God alone” (Soli Deo Gloria) All the actions of the church must seek to glorify God in thought, word and deed.
With Presbyterianism:
The theology of Presbyterianism (often called “Reformed” theology) is the tradition from John Calvin in Switzerland and the John Knox from Scotland.
It is a particular understanding of God, Scripture, and the church that, while different from other protestant churches, does not negate the faith and service of other denominations. Presbyterians understand these ideas to be paramount to how we experience and live out our faith.
​
1. Election of the people of God for service as well as for salvation,
​​
2. Covenant life marked by a disciplined concern for order in the church according to the Word of God;
​​
3. A Faithful Stewardship that shuns ostentation and seeks proper use of the gifts of God’s creation; and
​
4. The recognition of the human tendency to idolatry and tyranny, which calls the people of God to work for…
​​
5. The Transformation of Society by seeking justice and living in obedience to the Word of God.
We are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), a connected and covenanted denomination committed to advancing values of Christ in our world: justice for the poor, mercy for the needy, and love for the stranger.
We trust in the Bible, gather for weekly worship, break bread with one another in small groups, and serve our community in mission work.
