Heritage Reformed Church confesses the historic Christian faith as it has been received and taught by the Church through the ages, summarized in the ecumenical creeds and the Reformed confessions.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God — the only infallible rule for faith and life.
The Triune God
We confess one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in power, glory, and majesty, distinct in personhood and operation.
The Gospel of Christ
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to the Scriptures alone, to the glory of God alone. Jesus Christ — true God and true man — lived, died, rose, and reigns for the salvation of His people and the renewal of all things.
Confessional Standards
Heritage Reformed Church adheres to the historic Christian Creeds: The Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Definition of Chalcedon.
The Westminster Confession of Faith of 1788 serves as the doctrinal standard of our Congregation. We believe the Westminster Confession to be the clearest and most accurate comprehensive confession, yet we believe that even this Confession was the product of fallible but godly men. Thus, by the grace of God, we denote several exceptions to the Westminster Confession in our constitution.
We are also in essential agreement with the historic confessions of the Reformation, including the Synod of Dordt, the Belgic Confession, and the Heidelberg Catechism (together known as the Three Forms of Unity), the London Baptist Confession of 1689, the Athanasian Creed, and the 39 Articles of Religion.
