Love God. Love people. Hate sin.
We are an independent Reformed church, tracing our roots back to the Dutch/Continental Reformed church in the 1500s.
Generally, Reformed theology holds to the authority of Scripture, the sovereignty of God, salvation by grace through Christ, and the necessity of evangelism. It is sometimes called Covenant theology because of its emphases on the covenant God made with Adam and the new covenant which came through Jesus Christ (Luke 22:20).
Reformed Christians sometimes say we’re “Reformed and always reforming” (ecclesia reformata, semper reformanda). This means we never stop asking whether we’re being faithful to God’s vision and reforming the church to follow God’s will. We do this because we believe humans are broken, and we know how easy it is for our sinful nature to corrupt God’s church.

And for further digging into the history of the Protestant Reformation and the formation of the Reformed church, we suggest these fascinating lectures.
At Five Solas Church you will find:
1. The pure doctrine of the gospel preached
2. The pure administration of the sacraments as instituted by Christ
3. Church discipline exercised in punishing of sin, and with hope of full restoration of the individual(s)

In addition to the Five Solas, the following links lead to various sources and creeds we generally accept.
We adhere strictly to Sola Scriptura as the source of Christian faith and practice; however, the following are seen as representative in the main of Biblical teaching, and we reserve the right to quibble or disagree in particulars.
