We believe that Jesus is the perfect Son of God and the Bible is the perfect Word of God. We believe that sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We believe that Jesus died and rose to life again so that everyone who trusts in him will receive from God the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Jesus said . . . "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die." (John 11:25-26)
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:23-24)
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
In our worship services we regularly confess our faith using the great creeds and confessions of the Christian church, which include the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Our church is a local congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), which means that our pastor and elders teach the Bible alone as the Word of God, but they also agree that the Westminster Standards which are composed of the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism, and Shorter Catechism are accurate summaries of the doctrines of the Bible.

Leadership Update
As we continue to move forward as a church, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the recent changes in our church leadership. After 10 years of dedicated service, our former pastor, Joe Arnold, has moved on to new opportunities. We are grateful for his time and contributions.
Currently, our church is in a transition period as we search for a new pastor. In the meantime, our church Elders are working together to ensure the continued growth and vitality of our church.
We kindly ask for your prayers and support during this time. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support.
Sincerely,
Amanda Harvey
Administrative Assistant

Our History
Faith was born when our denomination was born, in the year 1973. After many years of struggle against the liberal trends which were assaulting the Presbyterian Church in the United States, many local churches, elders and pastors saw the need to remove themselves from the controversy and form a new denomination which was committed to the inerrency of the Scriptures, the Reformed faith, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The people who formed Faith were committed to those same essential truths.
