WHAT
WE BELIEVE
Presbyterian Church in America
We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by
the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts.
The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible
and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists
eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
We believe that all are sinners and totally
unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except
by His mercy.
We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly
chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on
His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who
through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the
sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not
simply as individuals but as families in successive generations
according to His Covenant promises.
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells
God’s people
and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow
Him.
We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge
all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to
the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
