Our Beliefs
What we believe, in plain terms.
We are Presbyterians, and here is a short, honest account of what that means to us.
The Trinity
God exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in perfect harmony with one another.
The Bible
Sixty six books, thirty nine in the Old Testament and twenty seven in the New, telling the story of humanity’s faith. We look to it to understand how God has been present with humanity.
Jesus
The Son of God and the central figure of our faith. His teachings on love, forgiveness, and repentance are at the heart of what we believe, and his resurrection promises eternal life.
Salvation
God offers salvation through grace. It is not a right or a privilege to be earned, and we depend entirely on God’s goodness and mercy.
Baptism
Practiced at any age, with infant baptism common among us. It carries the meaning of dying and rising with Jesus Christ, and of being welcomed into the body of Christ.
Communion
Open to all. We practice intinction, dipping the bread in the cup, and gluten free options are always available.
Holy Spirit
The giver and renewer of life, who justifies us through faith, binds us together as believers, and empowers us for service.
