Faith Presbyterian Church - What We Believe

What Do We Believe?

The historical beliefs of the Presbyterian Church are detailed and lengthy. Our Book of Confessions is comprised of nine separate documents that set out the church’s understanding of God and our relationship with God at various times in history. To introduce you to our beliefs, we offer this "Top 10" list. Please note two things about this list: first, we could never have a complete list and second, after belief in God, these beliefs are not in any order of priority.

1. We believe in God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
