The scriptures of the Old and New Testament being the foundation and basis of our doctrine, piety, and practice, the eldership of Redeeming Grace Church subscribes, as an accurate statement of what the scriptures teach, to our articles of faith. These articles form our church's confessional standards and adhere, in substance, to the 2nd London Baptist Confession of 1689.  In short, we believe the Bible and these articles of faith describe what we are convinced the Bible says.

These articles of faith are based in large part on a revision of the London Baptist Confession of 1689, with reference also to the Westminster Confession of Faith. They are intended as a statement of positions of this church as held by the elders.

We are also in harmony with the standards set forth by the Fellowship of Reformed Evangelicals with whom we are formally associated.

These standards are not boundaries for fellowship. Not every genuine believer will agree with what is set forth, here. Such Christians are certainly welcome to fellowship with us. A credible profession of faith and, ordinarily, believer’s baptism are the standards for membership.

These standards represent our elders’ understanding of what the Bible teaches on the matters addressed. Thus, it is our intention that the teaching of the our elders reflect this understanding.

Q: What is your only comfort in life and in death
A: That both in soul and body, whether I live or die, I am not my own, but belong wholly unto my faithful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  By His most precious blood fully satisfying for all my sins, He has delivered me from all the power of the devil, and so preserves me, that without the will of my heavenly Father not so much as a hair may fall from my head.  Yes, all things must serve for my safety and by His spirit, also He assures me of everlasting life, and makes me ready and prepared, that from now on I may live to Him.
