Statement of Faith

The following is a summary statement of faith of Mt. Calvary Presbyterian Church:

God is one Being existing in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  God is the Sovereign, the Creator, and the Sustainer of all things.  God is the Source and End of all truth.

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God, inerrant in their original writings, the infallible authority by which He directs and governs all our activities.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.  He is truly God and truly Man.  Two distinct natures in one person.

Through Christ’s life, death, resurrection and ascension, He accomplished a decisive victory over sin for His people and established His Kingdom among men.

Man was created in the image of God as a rational, moral, and spiritual being.  Man sinned in Adam and fell with him in his first transgression.

Man’s fall affected him spiritually, intellectually, and physically.  He is restored only by the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit and the cleansing blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.  This justification is by faith alone and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.

The Lord will return in glory and triumph for the final judgment and the consummation of His Kingdom.

Mt. Calvary also subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms.
