A Biblical Church

Since the Scriptures are the very word of God, it alone informs us concerning how we may worship Christ as King. And the Scriptures alone are a sufficient guide in all matters of faith and practice. And so the foundational mark of our church is solid, biblical preaching and the application of Scripture to our day to day lives.

An Evangelical Church

We take our stand with all those who believe in the existence of the triune God, the deity of Jesus Christ, the virgin birth, the substitutionary and vicarious atonement of Christ, the physical resurrection of Christ, the sure return of Christ, and the infallibility and divine authority of the Bible which is the faithful and true guide to what we are to believe and how we are to live.

An Evangelistic Church

We take seriously the Great Commission, "Go and make disciples of all nations." We have a passion and a heart for others to come to know the precious gospel of Jesus Christ.

A Reformed Church

The reformed church is always reforming - and reforming to the Word of God. The distinctives of a reformed church can be summarized by our glad affirmation of the responsibility of every person to repent and believe, and that it is God who, by His sovereign, electing grace, draws men and women, otherwise dead in sin, to faith in His Son.

A Confessional Church

We have a written confession of faith which we believe to be a good and accurate summary of the Bible's teaching. Our confession consists of the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. These documents are not without flaw, yet we believe they do contain carefully worded summaries of the teaching of the Bible under whose authority they rest.

A Covenantal Community

To say that we are covenantal means we believe that the unifying principle of the Scripture is the one covenant of grace from the fall of Adam to its consummation in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are a community; a community of God's people, growing in grace together for His glory and our good. We are not a community by ourselves but knit together by and with Christ to all those who are His.

A Kingdom Centered Community

We believe the kingdom of God is not only a future hope but also a present reality. The ascension of Jesus Christ to the right hand of God the Father Almighty means that He is presently reigning from Heaven and therefore we are called upon to honor and obey Him in every area of our lives and to plant the banner of Christ's Kingdom rule in every area of human endeavor. it is our desire that we impact the community of Northwest Arkansas in such a way that people are surprised by its power and relevancy in their lives.

A Presbyterian Community

We believe the most clear biblical pattern is for churches to be governed by elders who rule jointly in what are called "church courts"; sessions, presbyteries and the General Assembly.
