Our Faith

What we believe

Confessional Congregationalism is a Reformed tradition of Protestant Christianity in which churches practice elder-led and congregational government. Each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs through elder-led oversight on theology and doctrine with democratic voting by the church body. These principles are enshrined in the Cambridge Platform (1648) and the Savoy Declaration (1658). Confessional Congregational churches affirm the Apostles and Nicene Creeds as well the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647/1788 Revision) and the London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) specifically in regards to Baptism.
Reformed theology emphasizes the authority of the Bible and the sovereignty of God, as well as covenant theology, a framework for understanding the Bible based on God's covenants with people. Reformed tradition relies on the intellectual and academic study of historical church doctrine, the Creeds, Confessions, and ultimately results in being able to have answers to many of peoples tough questions about God, the Bible, and faith. By it’s nature, “reformed” is always trying to teach the most accurate interpretation of God’s teachings given the context, translation, and historical evidence available. While we always study and reflect on church history, theology, and doctrine, we believe the Bible is the final authority in all matters.
