What We Believe

What We Believe

​Covenant United Reformed Church is a Christian church, confessing and believing that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the only Savior and hope for sinners. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, inerrant in its entirety, unchanging, and God’s revelation of Himself which reveals all that we need to know unto salvation and life.

At Covenant URC, we treasure the Word of God as more valuable than riches. When God speaks, we want to listen. So when the Apostle Paul reminds us that all Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), we take him seriously. The BIBLE is our highest rule and authority for what we believe and how we live. From ‘In the beginning’ in Genesis to ‘the last Amen’ of Revelation, we desire to make our lives conform to God’s Word because it points us to His Son, Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, many people twist the words of the Bible until they mean anything or almost nothing. As historic, worldwide REFORMED Christians, we want to “contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).

Therefore, we join with Christians – throughout history and the world – in explaining our faith through several Creeds, Confessions and Catechisms. These man-made documents are not Scripture nor are they on par with God’s Word, but rather, they are faithful summaries of what Scripture teaches. These documents, created by Christ’s Church, help to explain the most basic and important doctrines taught in God’s Holy Word, and we eagerly and thankfully teach them as well. They are helpful tools and resources.
