Our Beliefs

NEPC is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a denomination whose identifying statement is “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith and Obedient to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ” and whose doctrines are formally expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith together with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms. We believe in the following:

  • The authority and truth of Scripture as God’s holy and inerrant Word
  • The deity, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
  • The future return of Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords
  • The immediate opportunity to receive the gift of eternal life through repentance of sins and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
  • The gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit to all believers
