Reformed Theology
Reformed Theology refers to insights and principles derived from the historic Reformation in Europe (c. 1517-c. 1650 A.D.), which was led by men such as John Calvin and Martin Luther. At this time, the Church returned to the Scriptures as its infallible rule for faith and practice.
These five Biblical principles (taken from the Reformation) are a helpful summary of Reformed Theology:
1) Sola Scriptura – by Scripture Alone
2) Solus Christus – through Christ Alone
3) Sola Gratia – by Grace Alone
4) Sola Fide – by Faith Alone
5) Soli Deo Gloria – to the Glory of God Alone

Traditional Worship
Our worship services are guided by the Regulative Principle of Worship, as defined in the Westminster Confession of Faith:“…the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself, and so limited by His own revealed will, that He may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men.” (WCF XXI.1)
Our worship services consist of reading, hearing, and preaching God’s Word, praying, confessing our sins and our faith, observing the sacraments (baptism and the Lord’s Supper), giving tithes and offerings, and congregational singing of Psalms and hymns.
We worship in obedience to God’s explicit command to come before Him on a regular basis, to offer praise to Him, to learn from Him, and to celebrate with joy and gratitude – together with fellow believers – the salvation, faith, and life He has given to us.

Biblical Expository Preaching
We believe that the preacher is a herald of God’s Word to His people and the world and, therefore, should expound the Word of God with great care.
Our pastor’s sermons focus on taking the congregation through books of the Bible in a thorough exploration of the wealth of their content and on drawing out the relevant applications for our lives.
On occasion, selected Scriptural passages or themes will be examined, but, typically, we have found it to be more valuable and practical to spend time absorbing the significance of one Biblical book at a time.

Committed Fellowship
In the Bible, the Church is sometimes referred to as “the household of faith”, and the Lord has called Redeemer to be a local expression of this body and genuinely to love one another.
Therefore, we are involved in each other’s lives in many ways:
-being accountable to one another
-praying for one another
-encouraging each other in the faith
-appreciating and benefitting from one another’s gifts
-serving one another in times of need or special occasions
-joining one another in service to the church and the community
-enjoying one another’s company through hospitality, common meals, events, and friendships
We are a group of all ages, backgrounds, and stages of life, drawn together and united by the Triune God, and we welcome you to join us.
