Jesus Is Lord
In the Presbyterian Reformed tradition, our authority is the one God in three persons, who is fully and finally revealed in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are unique and authoritative witnesses to this Triune God. The church in every generation wrestles with God’s self-revelation.
The church tries its best to respond faithfully, recognizing that its actions and its discernment may at times miss the mark, all the while living and working within the grace of God, trusting, and knowing that, in this mix of ambiguity and freedom, we find the God who promises to be with the church always.
