As a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we submit to the Constitution of the PC(USA), including the Book of Order and Book of Confessions, insofar as submission does not undermine or compromise our principal loyalty to Jesus Christ and God’s Will for humanity as it is revealed in the Scripture.

We fully understand and accept that there will be times when remaining faithful to our theological and confessional standards will cause us to stand in direct opposition to the current policies of the PC(USA). At the same time, we believe that we should work in partnership with other churches and the life of our denomination.

 As Presbyterians, St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church embraces the essential tenets of the Reformed Tradition:

• Sola Scriptura - The Bible is God’s inspired Word and is infallible, inerrant, sufficient, and the final authority for the church.

• Sola Christus - Salvation is only by faith in Jesus Christ.

• Sola Fide - Believers receive the gift of salvation through faith alone.

• Sola Gratia - Our salvation is by grace and grace alone.

• Soli Deo Gloria - Only God receives the glory and honor.
