The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the Supreme and Final Authority.

Church of the Redeemer is a church of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. As such, we believe these Essentials to contain the core of Christian belief:
‍
All Scripture is self-attesting and being Truth, requires our unreserved submission in all areas of life. The infallible Word of God, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is a complete and unified witness to God's redemptive acts culminating in the incarnation of the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the supreme and final authority on all matters on which it speaks. On this sure foundation we affirm these Essentials:

1.

We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory and praise forever!

2.

The true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity; where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting, she awaits the return of her Lord.

3.

The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.

4.

Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, thereby justifies them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.

5.

6.

Jesus Christ will come again to the earth—personally, visibly, and bodily—to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20).

7.

The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us." He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10).

These Essentials are set forth in greater detail in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Our Values

Gospel-Immersed
‍The Gospel is the good news about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and is for all people for all of life from all of Scripture. It is the message for people to become Christians and to grow as Christians. It is for the ‘spiritual’ parts of our lives, as well as every other part of our lives. And it is the message from Genesis to Revelation. We want our church not just to believe these things, but to celebrate them, relying on Jesus completely in a lifestyle of repentance and faith.

Multiplying
‍Through prayer, through our own members in their daily lives, through partnership with other ministries, and through church planting, we desire for the good news of Jesus Christ to be spread in word and deed.

Connected
‍We desire for the people of our church to be connected in meaningful friendships with one another, becoming more deeply involved in the life of the church, and through serving others and being served. In addition, we want to be connected to other churches as the Body of Christ locally, and we want to be connected in loving and faithful accountability to our denomination, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

Depth
‍We want to love God with all our minds, and all our hearts, and all our wills, and all our strength. We want to experience the deep riches of God and how He speaks to us in His Scriptures. We want to be with Father, Son, and Spirit and commune with Him. We want our worship to exhibit the depths of the Christian tradition as well as the richness and liveliness of contemporary expression.

Unifying
‍We desire a focus on our Triune God: Father, Son, and Spirit. As such, we want to unite around Him with church members and newcomers from all walks of life: different ages, life circumstances, ethnicities, and incomes.
