Our Beliefs

Resurrection Presbyterian Church, as part of Christ’s holy and catholic (universal) Church, seeks unity and partnership with all churches that confess Christ as the Son of God, and him crucified and risen from the dead as our only hope of salvation. We nevertheless have particular beliefs to which we hold firmly:

Biblical
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the inspired Word of God and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. The Bible is a complete and unified witness to God’s redemptive acts, culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Missional
In our worship, common life together, and individual vocations, we seek to extend God’s Kingdom and reflect his character as we participate in his mission to "Fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Hab. 2:14). While it is our desire that this missional quality will be reflected in all aspects of our personal and corporate lives, it is also reflected in our deep commitment to evangelism, church planting, ministries of justice and mercy, and foreign missions.

Reformed
We share the historical truths reflected in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds in common with all Christians. More particularly, we believe the distinctives of Reformed theology best represent the truths of biblical Christianity. Our particular theology is best encapsulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Presbyterian
The word Presbyterian comes from the Greek word meaning elder, and we are a congregation governed by elders. In reflecting the teaching of scripture (Titus 1:5; 1 Timothy 3:1-7), our elders seek to care for the congregation through shepherding, servant-leadership, and instruction in the Word of God.
