What We believe

---

We believe God speaks to His people today through Word, Sacrament, and Prayer. God uses these ordinary things, preaching, prayer, singing, baptism, the Lord's Supper to bless the weekly gathering of believers. Together we call these God's "ordinary means of grace."

 These three ordinary means are  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, dedicate yourself to this simple way of seeking God. 

This is also the way we approach worship; we have 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.

Inspired by the unwavering commitment of the Reformers, Reformation Church stands firm in upholding the doctrine of the authority of Scripture. This timeless doctrine is the  cornerstone of our faith. Our mission is to align the church with God's Word. As we do this, we build 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 delivers only sound, expository preaching.  With the proclamation of the Scriptures alone, we can trust the Spirit to guide for our faith.

At Reformation Church a steadfast commitment to Scripture is not just a historical tribute, but we believe returning to God's Word is God's plan. 

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

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 a progressive 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. Our elders and deacons are marked by wholehearted dedication to God's Word and Biblical doctrine, without any exceptions or reservations. 

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 teachings of early church Christianity, we offer an anchor of stability in a world of change.

It is Reformation Church's position that no human tradition or law can override the clear Scriptural mandates regarding the worship of God. 

We firmly hold that the commands of Scripture to worship God are paramount and must not be eclipsed by any civil regulations. 

Reformation Church is a haven where worship is cherished. 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, as during the 2020 COVID mandates, 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 have questions, please feel free to contact the pastor. He would love to hear from you.
