We Believe
Although not written by the apostles, the Apostles’ Creed is a concise summary of the essential teachings of Christianity. It originated as a baptismal confession, probably in the second century, and developed into its present form by the sixth or seventh century.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. [Trinity Hymnal, rev. ed.]

Our Confessional Standards
The Bible is the foundational standard and the only infallible rule of faith and practice for the church. Secondarily, Calvary is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and adopts the Westminster Confession of Faith with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms as its confessional documents which summarize and outline “the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures.” To read the Westminster Standards, click below.
Our Denomination
In a time when accountability matters, Calvary is proudly a part of local and national network of churches known as the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Tracing its history back to the formation of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America in 1788, the PCA is one of the largest Presbyterian denominations in the country that remains “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.” To learn more about the PCA, visit www.pcanet.org by clicking on the link below.
