Our
Mission
To
glorify and enjoy God, nurture the faith of God’s
People, and present Christ to the unchurched by means
of God’s Word, prayer, baptism, and the Lord’s
Supper.
Creeds
The Trinity, The Life Death and Resurrection of Jesus
Christ, and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus.
These truths are dear to us as they were to the church
fathers in the past. On Sunday Morning Worship, you
may hear us repeat these central truths out loud as
a part of the worship service.
We call them confessions. We repeat the confessions
often.
Over the centuries, groups have tried to consolidate
these truths into poems, songs, sayings, or creeds.
They are still published, often under the name of the
groups that wrote them: The Nicene Creed, The Apostles
Creed, and Athanasian Creeds.
We
usually repeat these creeds as they were originally
translated, letting the archaic words add to the beauty
and worship. We stand with the writers, long dead as
word by word, we speak the truth out loud together.
Doctrines
Trinity Presbyterian Church stands in the theological
tradition of the Protestant Reformation, believing in
the sovereignty of God, salvation by grace alone through
faith alone in Christ alone.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America,
her official statement of beliefs consists of The Westminster
Confession of Faith and Catechisms as a faithful expression
of the Biblical message of God’s gracious work
of redemption in Christ.
Some other statements of Reformed doctrine that we find
very helpful are The Belgic Confession of Faith, The
Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dordt.
