What We Believe

Our Presbyterian Faith

We are a dynamic congregation with close ties to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and grounded in the Reformed Tradition, which stretches back to John Calvin, Martin Luther and the Reformation that gave birth to the Protestant tradition of the priesthood of all believers. The Presbyterian Church of the 21st century holds fast to the notion that God is continually at work in the world, that Jesus Christ is head of the Church, and that we are called to be life-long learners, richly diverse even in the midst of our unity as people of faith, and open to all that God, in Christ, is leading us to do and be.

We embrace worship that touches the mind, heart, and soul; learning environments that invite questions and provide encouragement; service that reaches out to others in need; and fellowship that brings people together. Our church is about merging faith and daily living, as we seek to know God deeply and more fully. Whether you’re looking for a place to worship on Sundays, or desire to connect with others throughout the week, we respect your preferences and welcome you.

The Brief Statement of Faith from the Book of Confessions of the Presbyterian Church USA is a good contemporary summary of what we believe: https://www.presbyterianmission.org/what-we-believe/brief-statement-of-faith/
