| 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.
