Three Forms of Unity
Ecumenical Creeds
We Believe...
The Christian Reformed Church Denomination
…that the goal of the
Christian life is summarized in the statement we have adopted as our church’s
mission statement, “Delighting in God and Proclaiming the Truth in Love.” We live in thanks to God, who graciously
saved us from our sins and set us free to joyfully serve and glorify Him. These truths are clearly revealed in Isaiah
61:10-11 and Ephesians 2:89-10, and many other Scripture passages. This knowledge leads us to the joyful
worship of God and to obey His law with great delight!
The prevalent view of our
culture says there is no one religion.
In contrast, as Christians we believe there is only one true way and
that is why we use a capital “T” in the word truth in our mission statement. Truth is absolute, exclusive, and does not change,
because God himself and his promises do not change. James 1:17-18 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like
shifting shadows. He chose to give us
birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all
he created.”
We emphasize praise of the
one true and Holy God through worship services that focus on His glory, with
emphasis on the centrality of His Word through expository preaching, so that we
may be equipped to proclaim the Truth in love.
…beliefs and doctrines are firmly based on the Holy Bible,
God’s infallible written Word contained in the 66 books of the Old and New
Testaments. We believe that the Bible
is uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it is the
supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
