Although labels can be misunderstood, there are distinguishing characteristics of our church that provide a window into the truths that define us.

We are evangelical. This basically means two things: (1) We believe that the Bible is the essential and infallible record of God’s self-disclosure and is therefore our final authority in all matters of life and doctrine, and (2) we believe people need to be saved by responding to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are essentially reformed in our theology. This means that we embrace and exult in the sovereignty of God over all things, and that we place the emphasis on the activity of God and the glory of God in the salvation of sinners.

We are continuations . This means (1) that we are active in our pursuit and practice of all the gifts of the Spirit as found in the New Testament, and (2) that our worship is expressive and passionate.
