Who We Are
We Call Ourselves
Christian because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. We recognize as
fellow-Christians all people who accept the teachings of the Bible as summarized in the Apostles’ Creed.
Reformed because we're part of that historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of 16th-century reformer John Calvin, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots.
Church because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
Our Emblem
Our emblem is the cross in a triangle.
The triangle represents the Trinity, our belief in the one God we know as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The cross symbolizes our belief in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death for our salvation.
