What We believe

---

We believe God speaks to His people today through Word, Sacrament, and Prayer. God has instituted these three as the means to bless the weekly gathering of believers. Together we call these God's "ordinary means of grace."

 These three ordinary means are foundational aspects of worship and hence the Christian life. They serve to communicate God's grace, allowing believers to experience the fullness of His presence, receive spiritual nourishment, and deepen their faith in Christ. 

If you are seeking to know God better, what better way than through the means he has given to you to do exactly that? 

This is also the theology behind our service, which uses a historic, reformed liturgy. This is the same type of liturgy that you would have had during the Reformation. You'll notice right off that worship at Reformation Church is less entertainment and more a collective conversation with God, a weekly engagement with God's presence in Word, Sacrament and Prayer. And, that's a VERY good thing.

Inspired by the unwavering commitment of the Reformers, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, Reformation Presbyterian stands firm in upholding the doctrine of the authority of Scripture. This timeless doctrine has faced challenges, yet remains the  cornerstone of our faith. Our mission is to align the church with God's Word, as we nurture a covenant community deeply dedicated to God's Word.

At Reformation Church, the supremacy, sufficiency, infallibility, and necessity of Scripture guide our every step. We firmly believe that without the unchanging foundation of God's Word, meaningful reform in our churches and lives would be absent. On this basis our pulpit echoes with the proclamation of the Scriptures alone, the ultimate guide for our faith.

At Reformation Church the Word of God reigns supreme. We draw inspiration from the Reformation's legacy, understanding that a steadfast commitment to Scripture is not just a historical tribute, but returning to God's Word has always been God's plan. 

Join us as we walk in a brotherly, covenant community washed by the waters of the Word. Jesus Christ.

In our postmodern era, every church leader professes belief in the Bible; meanwhile every sect constructs its own, private interpretations. Without standards, believers frequently find themselves deceived by superficial messages of humanism, a false gospel. As a confessional church, we boldly place the foundational principles of Reformed faith front and center. Reformation principles are anchored in the historic Christian faith; the historic, biblical doctrines of the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed together with the Westminster Confession of Faith guide our understanding of God's message of salvation.

The pattern of sound doctrine acts as a firm foundation for our church, offering a secure footing and paving the path to salvation through grace alone. 

By upholding these biblical teachings, we erect barriers against doctrinal innovations. For instance, the new notion that perverse human sexuality is inherent in God's design stands in stark contrast to our scripturally grounded beliefs. Rather than embracing the liberal social gospel of accepting immorality, our congregation stands firmly on the doctrines of the Bible. Reformation Church simply refuses to call good evil and evil good.

The leadership of Reformation Presbyterian subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith as the standard for doctrinal clarity and our standard for reforming Christ's church. Subscription means marked by wholehearted dedication, without any exceptions or reservations. These convictions include six-day creation and double imputation.

In embracing the tenets of the Reformed faith, we are anchored and not swayed by societal currents or theological trends. By anchoring ourselves in the rich legacy of historic Christianity, we offer an anchor of stability and spiritual rest from the dizzying confusion offered by many churches.

Regarding COVID-19, pandemic hysteria, and the measures taken by civil authorities to limit public gatherings, it is Reformation Church's position that no human tradition or law can override the clear Scriptural mandates regarding the worship of God. At Reformation Church, we are a body of people who yearn to worship God in a manner that is faithful.

We firmly hold that the commands of Scripture to worship God are paramount and must not be eclipsed by any ordinary regulations. Reformation Church is a haven where worship is cherished in both spirit and truth. In accordance with the Scripture, the people of God must have the liberty to worship as guided by the Word.

It is our steadfast belief that no decree to cease worshiping can be binding upon the church. The faithful congregants of Reformation Church are resolved to gather for worship each Lord's Day, following the timeless pattern set forth in Scripture.

As the ethics of the world changes, our commitment to honoring God through worship remains the same. We invite you to join us in the unbroken joy of worshiping the Almighty. If you require special accommodations regarding your health, please feel free to contact the pastor. He would love to hear from you.
