The brethren of this congregation are covenantally bound to God and each other by way of the greater, everlasting New Covenant of our Great Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ, and by lesser covenants made in subservience to Him and in conjunction with the whole of God's Holy Scriptures.

We are reformed in that we not only hold to the faith of the Great Reformation, the same by which our republic was founded, but we believe, as the great reformers did, that God's people in every generation are to reform all of their ways (marriage, government, education, economics, etc.) to the Word of God in accordance with Christ's commission to the Church that the nations be discipled and taught to love God by keeping His Commandments (1 John 5:3).

 We ascribe to the Three Forms of Unity --- The Belgic Confession, The Canons of Dort, and Heidelberg Catechism --- as our primary doctrinal standard, and the Westminster Confession of Faith and all its catechisms as our secondary standard.
