Redeemer's Mission: To know, love, and serve God and others.

 

  • We believe that God reveals himself in the Bible to be a God of love for all people. (John 3:16-17; Psalm 33:5, 57:10; 1 John 4:16)

  • We believe that God revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ and that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15; Matthew 3:17)

  • We believe that we are called by God to join his mission in the world which is to gather people to himself and to renew and redeem Decatur and the whole world for his glory. (Psalm 103:1-5, 103:7-8; Romans 3:22-25; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; Revelation 11:15)

  • We believe in one triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, and truth. 

  • We believe all men are by nature dead in sin and live under the wrath of God. God saves us by his grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

  • We believe the Bible is the only inerrant and infallible Word of God.

  • As Christians, our chief end is to glorify God by enjoying him forever, endeavoring to worship him in Spirit and in Truth and to order our hearts and our lives according to his Word.

  • We believe in the Christian family as the basic building block of the visible Church, and we baptize our children as a sign and a seal of their membership in this covenant community. We believe our children need to put their faith in Jesus and repent of their sins in order to be saved.

  • We believe the Church is an essential part of God's plan for communicating grace to mankind.

 

We are committed to the historic Christian Creeds including the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We believe these serve as a helpful and biblically-faithful framework for the doctrines of grace found in the Bible. We are part of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian (click here for more info) church.
