We belong to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), which provides us with a system of representational government and accountability. We trace our theological roots back to the Apostle's Creed and the Reformed branch of Protestantism, the contours of which are outlined in the Belgic Confession (1561), Heidelburg Catechism (1563), and Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechism (1646).
Our denomination, like others, is not without flaws. Any denomination cannot help but be shaped by its past, its successes and failures, its joys and hurts, its origins and ancestors. Each one is not without its blind spots, its peculiarities, and even its grievous errors. Yet, the PCA emphasizes that God is gracious, that salvation comes through Jesus by faith, that the Scriptures are authoritative, and that the mission of the church is to enrich the world with God's peace.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
