What is a Reformed church?

“Reformed” simply means we stand in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation, which sought to bring the church back to Scripture. We believe:

  • Scripture Alone — the Bible is God’s Word, and nothing needs to be added.

  • Grace Alone — salvation is God’s free gift.

  • Faith Alone — we receive that gift by trusting in Christ.

  • Christ Alone — He is the only mediator between God and man.

  • God’s Glory Alone — everything exists to honor Him.

What is a Presbyterian church?

The word Presbyterian comes from the Greek word presbyteros, meaning elder.

A Presbyterian church is led by a group of elders, rather than by a single pastor, following the pattern of church leadership found in the New Testament.

Our particular denomination (PCA) emphasizes:

  • God’s Sovereignty — He rules over all things for His glory and our good.

  • The Authority of Scripture — The Bible alone is our ultimate standard for faith and life.

  • Word-Centered Worship — Our services focus on the reading, preaching, praying, and singing of God’s Word.
