Who We Are

We are a confessional church that acknowledges God speaks clearly through His Word. The doctrines of Holy Scripture are presented in historic Creeds and Confessions which regulate our preaching, teaching, and living.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105)

We are a sacramental church. Remembrance of Holy Baptism, public confession of sin, and Holy Communion accompany the preaching of God’s Word. The Holy Spirit creates and nurtures our faith as we gather around these Means of Grace.

He saved us… by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. (Titus 3:5)

We are a singing church that enjoys praising our Lord with traditional, Gospel, and contemporary hymns. We are blessed with a Gospel Band that leads the singing of Gospel music the second Sunday of each month.

Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! (Psalm 100:2)

We are a holy church whose core values match God’s will for our lives. That means we believe in reaching out to others with Christ-like love and support, and forming a community that meets the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our neighbours.

You shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:18)
