What we believe

Above all, our faith is centered in Christ. Every need of ours finds its answer in Jesus Christ. The final authority in the Reformed faith is the Holy Scripture, the living Word of God, spoken to everyone through the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and makes it real and actual in our lives. This has always been and will always be the authentic wellspring of the Reformed Faith.
 
These  are the two creeds that sum up what we as a church profess:

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
 
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
 
He descended into hell.
 
The third day He arose again from the dead.
 
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
 
Amen.

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
 
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds;
 
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
 
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
 
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man;
 
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
 
He suffered and was buried;
 
and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures;
 
and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father;
 
and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead;
 
whose kingdom shall have no end.
 
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life;
 
who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;
 
who spoke by the prophets.
 
And I believe one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
 
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
 
and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
 
Amen.
