The name “Sovereign Grace” truly expresses both how and why our church exists. God has
declared his grace in his word, personally revealed in Jesus Christ and verbally preserved in the Bible. Scripture is a redemptive-historical book which highlights Christ’s victory over Satan, and ultimately results in the redemption of sinners to the glory of God.
The Scriptures describe this redemption through God’s law (commands) and gospel (grace). The law reveals God’s holy character, the keeping of which leads to life. However, Adam, the representative of all humanity, failed to keep God’s law and suffered spiritual death which has passed to every human being. And yet, God also declared to Adam (& Eve) a word of gospel, promising a Savior so that all those who would trust in him could still inherit the promise of life. Jesus Christ, a second representative, kept the law perfectly, endured the judgement for law- breaking sinners on the cross, and thereby conquered our spiritual enemy, Satan. Thus, salvation from the consequences of sin and death is available for all who forsake sin and their own righteousness and hope in Christ alone. Because of this, we believe that the gospel should be central in all that we do. As the power of God unto salvation, the gospel is the means by which our faith begins and is sustained.
We believe that when we rest in the finished work of Christ by faith, the Spirit of God will sweeten our fellowship and love with one another, increase our desire to grow in obedience to our Lord Jesus, and empower us to make disciples in all nations.
