What We Believe

A new church with historic Reformed roots.

The Bible is our foundation and the basis for all our ministry, teaching, and preaching. Covenant Church is a mission work of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian denomination of churches. Learn more about who we are, or plan your first visit.

Our convictions are not new. They are summaries of what the Christian Church has confessed in all ages and in many lands — that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons; that the Bible is His true and authoritative Word; that sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.

Our Confessional Standards

For a summary of what we believe about the Bible and what it teaches, our denominational standards include the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. These documents are faithful, careful summaries of Scripture's own teaching — produced by the Westminster Assembly in the 1640s and embraced by Presbyterian churches in the Reformed tradition ever since.

What That Looks Like on Sundays

Confessional theology is not abstract. It shapes how we gather. Worship at Covenant Church is ordered around the reading and preaching of Scripture, the singing of Psalms and hymns, the prayers of the people, the giving of tithes and offerings, and — at appointed times — the Lord's Supper. Each element is drawn from what God has commanded in His Word.

The preaching is expository: the minister draws the message from the verses of Scripture themselves, verse by verse and book by book. Our prayer is that everything you encounter on a Sunday morning points away from us and toward Christ.

A Church in Connection

As an ARP mission work, Covenant Church does not stand alone. We are bound in fellowship to a wider Presbytery and General Synod of churches across North America that share the same confession of faith, the same forms of worship, and the same accountability structure of elders.

"Christianity is not just a private affair. It is the public confession of a people gathered, week after week, around the Word of God."

The Great Exchange!

The Good News about God's Plan of Salvation

Everything on this page rests on one thing: Christ took our sin, and gave us His righteousness. That is the great exchange.

We published this little booklet. Eight facts from Scripture in seventeen short pages: what God made us for, what went wrong, what He has done about it in His Son, and how to call on Him. Mostly Bible verses, with short explanations. You can read it in one sitting.

Ask for a copy on Sunday and we'll put one in your hand, along with a Bible of your own if you need one. If you would like to hand these out, here is a print-and-fold version (PDF): five sheets of letter paper, printed double-sided.

Have Questions?

Pastor Brooks would love to sit down with you — over coffee, or after a service — to talk about what we believe and what it has meant for ordinary people to follow Jesus across the centuries. Get in touch →
