About Grace Church
Grace is a congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, a conservative, Reformed, evangelical denomination. We are a multi-national, intergenerational community that strives to grow together in grace. As an ARP congregation, we subscribe to and uphold as standards the Westmister Confession of Faith as well as The Larger Catechism and The Shorter Catechism.
Orthodox
We affirm our agreement with the creeds of the early church that set forth the biblical doctrine of the trinity, including the full deity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Protestant
We affirm our agreement with the reformers that justification is by faith alone and that the Bible alone is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and doctrine.
Evangelical
We believe and preach the gospel, the good news that Jesus Christ has come into the world to save sinners. We believe that it is the church’s responsibility to take the gospel to the world, both locally and around the world.
Reformed
We believe in the doctrines of grace and that the scriptures are sufficient for us to know how we ought to live and conduct ourselves, both individually and in the local church.
Presbyterian
We affirm our agreement with the Westminster Confession of Faith on baptism, both infant and believers, and church government.
We as a congregation are closely in line to the
5 Solas of the Reformation:
Sola Scriptura
God’s word alone – our only foundation
Solus Christus
Christ alone – our only mediator
Sola Gratia
Grace alone – our only method
Sola Fide
Faith alone – our only means
Soli Deo Gloria
Glory to God alone – our only ambition
Grace's Core Values:
-
Solid preaching/teaching of the Bible that is for the heart as well as the head. Our messages may be exegetical, topical and many times book studies.
-
Worship that honors the past and recognizes the present with our liturgy and a blending of traditional hymnody with newer music whose words carefully reflect our faith convictions. All is done with the goal of honoring the Lord and being in His presence.
-
Growing together as disciples of the Lord, encouraging, loving, and walking alongside each other. This is done through Bible studies and our interpersonal relationships.
We would love to have you visit with us and perhaps join our journey of growing together in grace. Come as you are. We are informal in style but serious about our God and Savior.
