Beliefs

Our Convictions

Our church believes the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) are the Word of God and the authority for faith, doctrine and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16)

We believe all who put their faith in Christ are our brothers and sisters in the family of God, the Christian church. (Ephesians 4:4-6)

We believe that Christian unity is based on our relationship with God, not on complete agreement in all matters of interpretation or practice. We value diversity within a church committed to Christ as Lord. (John 17:20-23)

Our Confession Of Faith

If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

We believe in God the Father who is revealed in Jesus Christ the Son, whom we acknowledge as Lord and Savior, and who lives in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. (John 14:15-21)

Our Denomination

When new members join a Covenant church, they are asked three questions:

  • Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior and promise to follow him as Lord?
  • Do you accept the Holy Scriptures, (Old and New Testaments) as the Word of God and the authority for faith, doctrine, and conduct?
  • Do you intend to live as faithful followers of Christ as members of the church and denomination?

  • That is all. That is enough.

    Covenant Beliefs

    The Covenant Church does not require adherence to any written creed, but we take the Bible and our history very seriously. It is a Reformation church, part of the Church universal, and evangelical in its mission. That means we share certain central beliefs, which draw us together in faith and fellowship and make freedom of opinion possible on more widely ranging issues.We describe those central beliefs as “affirmations.”

    Covenant Affirmations

  • We affirm the centrality of the word of God.
  • We affirm the necessity of the new birth.
  • We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the church.
  • We affirm the church as a fellowship of believers.
  • We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit.
  • We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ.
