Welcome to Providence Reformed
Presbyterian Church (PCA)
Thank you for visiting. Providence Reformed Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America.
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible "word of God, the only rule of faith and obedience" (Westminster Larger Catechism, Question #3). What is more we also believe that "all synods or councils, since the Apostles' times, whether general or particular, may err; and many have erred. Therefore they are not to he made the rule of faith, or practice; but to be used as a help in both" (Westminster Confession of Faith 31.4).
We do use creeds and confessions, not as replacements of Scripture, but to clarify what we believe the Scripture teaches. We are humble enough to realize that these documents inevitably flatten the Scripture, by leaving much of importance out. We also realize that our doctrine needs to be challenged by Scripture. This idea was at the very heart of the Reformation. As some say, we are "reformed and always reforming". The Scripture challenges, shapes, grows, corrects, trains, teaches, and rebukes us.
Many churches profess to believe the Bible, so in order to profess specifically what we believe about the Bible:
We are a member of the Presbyterian Church in America and hold to the PCA Doctrinal Statement. The PCA subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith, along with the Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms, the Five Solas of the Reformation, and the Five Points of Calvinism.
In short, we believe and teach the Doctrines of Grace, also called Reformed Theology.
