OUR BACKGROUND

Christ Church is a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church that believes that each word of the Bible was inspired and placed there by God. 

 

We are a church that is accountable to others, belonging to a denomination that makes sure we are teaching and preaching what is Biblically true.  That denomination's catch-phrase includes: "True to the Scriptures" and "Faithful to the Great Commission."  We also ascribe to the teaching of the Bible that defined the earliest Protestant churches in the time of the Protestant Reformation.  Thus, we can be called a "reformed" church (meaning:  "from the Reformation").  It means that we believe and love that salvation is by faith in Jesus and not by works (the center-point of the Reformation); and it means that we love the Bible and believe it to be the means God has given human beings to know and be saved by Jesus, and to know His will for us as His followers. 

​

We're part of a Biblically solid and faithful stripe of presbyterians called the Presbyterian Church in America.  It started in 1973, and it's not the one you might have heard about in the news for advocating things that are against clear teaching in the Bible.  Historically, Presbyterians and Lutherans were the first two denominations springing from the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s.  So, we've been around a while.  Time-tested!
