I.    We are Biblically Grounded–The Bible Is Our Authority for Faith & Practice.

II.   We are Historically Informed— Our Book of Confessions, part 1 of our Constitution, contains the essentials of our Reformed Doctrines.

III.  We are Communally Nurtured–Our Book of Order, Part 2 of our Constitution, contains the essentials of Reformed Polity for Church Order: government, worship, and discipline.

IV.  We are Ecumenically Involved–We seek to be in unity & mission with other Christian denominations in accordance with our Lord Jesus’ prayer in John’s Gospel Chapter 17 that we all be one.

V.   Our Mission In the World is to bear witness through both Good Words & Good Deeds so that we do both evangelism and social action.
