Week 7 – What Is “Reformed”?

There are many Bible-believing denominations that have a range of interpretations on secondary issues. Although these topics may not affect our salvation, they do affect the depth of our worship and our ability to answer tough questions of God.

We hold to “Reformed” Theology as the most honoring to scripture, and the most satisfying for life. It focuses on the power of God over everything, and his radical grace that enables us to be saved.
