What we believe
The Bible, summarized in the creeds of the early church and the confessions of the Reformation.
Our confession
We confess Jesus Christ as the only Savior and the Sovereign Lord over all of life, and are fully committed to the Bible in its entirety as the Word of God written, without error in all its parts, and to its teaching as set forth in the historic Reformed standards (the Three Forms of Unity) and in the Ecumenical Creeds.

The Ecumenical Creeds
The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed date from the early centuries of the church. They are called ecumenical because they have been approved and accepted by a large portion of the churches of Christendom.
The Nicene Creed
Confesses that the Son is true God, of one being with the Father, against the Arian denial of Christ’s divinity.
