Theology

As Christians of the Reformed tradition, we profess that the Bible is the authoritative word of God. We believe that God's only son, Jesus Christ, died for all sinners, so that we might have eternal life. We cannot earn such a gift. It is given to us through grace. As Presbyterians we affirm the right of individual Christians to ask questions in search of spiritual truth, for we perceive the human mind to be a gift of God.

Although we acknowledge the sinfulness of humankind, we are optimistic that the world can become a better place. Through the power of the Holy Spirit working our midst, we strive for social justice and equality.

Sacraments

We affirm the power of baptism as originating with God and therefore baptize both adults and infants. When we celebrate the sacrament of the Lord's Supper it is open to all who have been baptized.

Clergy

Presbyterian ministers are graduates of a 3-year seminary program in which they are required to study the Bible in its original languages, church history, theology, worship, and preaching. Pastors are called to serve a particular congregation by a vote of the active membership.

Membership

You can join our church by a profession of faith, by a reaffirmation of faith, or through a transfer of letter from any other church.
