We are a creedal church, which means that we hold to or believe a particular standard, the Bible. The word "creed" means "I believe". When someone asks, "What do you believe?" he is asking, "What is your creed?" Further, when someone asks, "What do you believe about the Bible?" he is asking once again, "What is your creed?" As Prebyterians we maintain the Westminster Confession of Faith (1648) as our creed. It is what we believe the Bible teaches.

  1. That man's chief end or purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. (Rom 11:31, I Cor 10:31; Ps 73:25-26)

  2. That the Bible is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify God and enjoy Him. The Bible further teaches what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man. (Eph 2:20; I Tim 3:16; I Jn 1:3)

  3. That all men have inherited a sinful nature from Adam and are all alike, sinners dead in their trespasses and sins. (Gen 6:5; Isa 64:6; Jer 13:23; Rm 3:10-18, 6:23, 8:5-8; I Cor 2:14)

  4. That Christ has once for all redeemed His Church from her sins and from the wrath and judgment of the Father, by the cross. (Acts 20:28; I Pet 1:18-20; Eph 1:7-8, 5:25-27; Col 1:12-15; I Thess 1:10; II Tim 1:9)

  5. That salvation is a supernatural work of the triune God, whereby His Spirit regenerates the dead sinner, making him alive to believe. Thus, man does not believe to be born again, but rather he is born again to believe. Regeneration precedes faith. (Jn 3:1-8; Eph 1:17-19, 2:1-10; Phil 1:6; Col 1:13, 2:13: II Tim 1:9)

  6. That God commands man not only to believe, but also to submit to Him and His revealed word, the Scripture. (Acts 17:30; Phil 2:10-11)

  7. That God commands us to subdue the creation and every area of life to His Lordship. (Gen 1:26-28; Rm 6:14, 8:13, 12:9-19, 13:1-8; Eph 4:25-32)

  8. That life is made up of more than the "here and now" (the essence of secularism), but is eternal. (Jn 5:25-29; I Cor 15:51-52; I Thess 4:17; I Tim 6:7-12)

  9. That God is absolutely sovereign doing His pleasure in all His creation. (Dan 4:35; Isa 14:24,27; 46:9,11; Job 42:2; Ps 115:2, 135:6; Prov 21:1)
