WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are a church that holds to the historic creeds of the early church: The Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian.

 

The Apostles' Creed is as follows: 

​

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
     who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
     and born of the virgin Mary.
     He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
     was crucified, died, and was buried;
     he descended to hell.
     The third day he rose again from the dead.
     He ascended to heaven
     and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
     From there he will 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 the life everlasting. Amen.

*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places

​

As a Reformed Congregation, we also hold to the confessional documents known as the Three Forms of Unity: the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort.
