We believe that the Christian faith is founded upon the objective and declarative realities of Jesus and his work, as described in Holy Scripture, and that those realities are to be confessed and believed as the only normative rule for the Christian. When we say declarative we mean that they are finished. When we say objective, we mean it is factual and not influenced by feelings, personal opinions, life experiences, and certainly not by the pagan culture surrounding the church. When we say historical, we mean a reformed understanding of the scriptures whereby the glory of God displayed through his sovereign rule over everything without exception is embraced and celebrated. We recognize that we are not innovators but stand on the shoulders of the church historic, through tradition as is cogent with the scriptures, and in faith with those we are united together with in Christ. We are striving to be your grandma’s church, maybe not your grandma’s, but grandma’s church none the less. We are but one local expression, a microcosm, of the Church of Jesus Christ, the bride he has been preparing for himself.
