Our Beliefs
The Presbyterian Church USA shares certain beliefs with other Protestant denominations which trace their roots to the Protestant Reformation which was initiated by Martin Luther in 1520. These beliefs are:
The Continual Reformation of the Church
The church is reformed and always must be reforming its life and worship in light of God’s word.
Salvation by Grace through Faith
We are not saved by what we do, but by what God has done in Jesus Christ.
The Authority of the Holy Spirit Speaking through Scripture
The Bible is the supreme authority of a Christian’s life and all other authorities must be judged in light of what scripture would have us be and do.
Priesthood of All Believers
We are ultimately responsible for our life of faith, and we also serve as a “priest” to our neighbors as we pray for and support them in the life of church.
Sanctity of the Common Life
All aspects of life are holy and must be lived for the glory of God.
