Defining "Confessional" and "Reformed"

One question that people have is "what does it mean to be a Confessional Reformed Church?"

Here is how one pastor responds:

We are a Christian Church that believes in the Bible. We hold fast to "the faith that was once and for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). We confess and believe all that is taught in the Old and New Testaments, which are the inspired and infallible word of God. We summarize Scriptural teaching regarding the holy Trinity and Christ in the great ecumenical creeds of the ancient church:

The Ancient Ecumenical Creeds
-The Apostles' Creed
-Nicene Creed
-Athanasian Creed

-Definition of Chalcedon

We also confess the Three Forms of Unity
-The Heidelberg Catechism
-The Belgic Confession
-The Canons of Dort

We confess to believe that these creeds and confessions are biblical; that is, they are faithful summaries of the teaching of Scripture.

We believe the Bible teaches us that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in the perfect righteousness of Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. As a historic, Confessional Reformed church, we trace our heritage from the Apostles through the ancient church to the Protestant Reformation.

What are we studying?

We are studying a book by D.A. Carson entitled The God Who is There.  The focus of our study is to understand what the Bible says about God.  Christians hold that the God of the Bible is the God who is there, and in this study we invite both Christians and nonbelievers to see what the Bible says about this God.  We will look at who God is and the implications for what this says about the world.

Come and join us for our next study on Wednesday, April 13 from 6:30 to 8 PM.  We will meet at 9257 Amsden Way in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.  Our time together will be spent in fellowship and discussion about God's will for our lives as we study the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20.
