Who We Are We are called Christian because we confess, belong
to, and follow
Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
We are called Reformed because our history is rooted in the
16th
century Protestant Reformation. We continue to affirm the
Reformation teachings of salvation by faith in Christ alone, and
the
Bible as the only rule of faith and conduct.
We are called Church because we are part of the universal family
of
God, through which our relationships to God, to each other, and
the
world are nurtured.
