What We Believe

Christ Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The Westminster Standards (including the Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism and Shorter Catechism) function as a secondary authority in our church. Each minister in the PCA must affirm his agreement with the system of doctrine contained in the Standards as being that which Scripture teaches.  Our pastors and elders teach, preach, and lead according to the system of doctrine that is contained in these statements. The Standards, then, become a guide to the church’s beliefs and practices.

The PCA also joins with all Christian churches in all places affirming the Ecumenical Creeds of the ancient church: the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
