Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have found it helpful to summarize essential beliefs and convictions through the use of creeds, confessions, and statements of faith. The purpose of the documents is to impart truth, defend against heresy, clarify doctrinal positions, and to protect from confusion. These documents make it easier for churches from various backgrounds to agree upon the essential beliefs and doctrines of the Christian faith.

At Redeemer Community Church, we have three distinct but complementary statements summarizing our beliefs. The three statements are of varying degrees of detail and understanding of what we teach, preach and practice. Together, these statements form our Statement of Faith. The Statement of Faith communicates what we believe as a church. Therefore, it will be foundational for our teaching, preaching, instructing, disciplining, and counseling.

These documents are merely a response to God’s revelation as found in Scripture. Scripture alone is authoritative, inspired and infallible. Though we believe this Statement of Faith to be true and concurrent with Scripture, we hold to Scripture as our final authority in all matters.
