What does CPC believe?
We stand in the ancient heritage of true-to-the-Bible theology. We earnestly
strive to follow Christ and His apostles. We believe that the purest human expression of
Scriptural doctrines is found in the Westminster
Confession of Faith with the Larger and
Shorter Catechism.
- We believe that salvation is by God's drawing people to Jesus by His Holy Spirit.
He convinces them of their sin and enlightens them so that they repent of their sins and
trust in Jesus Christ as He is offered in the Gospel.
- We believe in the Trinity. There is one God who exists eternally in three
Persons--the Father, acting alone, who saves His people by the Son and the Holy Spirit.
These three are one in power and glory.
- We believe in the full divinity and the full humanity of Jesus Christ, the
eternal Son of God. He is the fullest and final revelation of God to mankind.
- We believe that Jesus Christ, as the eternal Son of God, became man, lived, died
and rose again to atone for the sins of those who trust Him alone for their salvation.
Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and mankind.
- We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit
and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is our infallible and divine
authority in all matters of faith and life.
- We believe that God's Holy Spirit gives Christians the daily strength and wisdom
they need to walk according to His will and to grow in holiness.
- We believe that all people are sinners and are unable to save themselves or even
cooperate with God in efforts to earn their salvation.
- We believe that Jesus Christ shall return personally, visibly and bodily to judge
all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.
