The Presbyterian Church in America
(PCA) is a new denomination, coming
into being in 1973, that upholds the
marks of the Reformed and
Presbyterian tradition dating back to
the sixteenth century.
Redeeming Grace Fellowship is committed to the preaching, teaching, and vital application of the Word of God.

We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1:23-24)

Being Reformed means that we emphasize
the grace and sovereignty of God, and
uphold the biblical truths recovered by the
Reformation. Our beliefs are summarized in
the Westminster Confession of Faith with the
Larger and Shorter Catechisms, and reflect
an understanding of the covenantal way in
which God has consistently related to his
people.
Being Presbyterian essentially means that
our church government is representative in
form. Local churches are governed by
elected elders (presbyters), who in turn are
represented within the "presbytery" that
comprises a geographical region.
Representatives of presbyteries meet
annually at "General Assembly". We
believe this form of government best
reflects the form presented in the New
Testament and best assures the purity and
integrity of the Church.
The Word of God is living and active, it
is breathed out by God, it is able to
save our souls. God promises that just
as the rain and snow unfailingly water
the earth when they fall, so His Word
will accomplish its purpose when it
goes forth. Of course, it's no
coincidence that Jesus, the Son of
God, came to earth as the Word made
flesh. Truly, the power of the Church
is the Word.
Therefore, at Redeeming Grace
Fellowship we are committed to the
preaching and teaching of the whole
counsel of God. By this means we
grow in grace and knowledge, and by
this means - the renewal of our mind
by the very Word of God - our lives are
transformed.
Of course, God did not establish a
school as the body of Christ, but the
Church! So the context for our
exploration of the Scriptures and
growth in knowledge and grace is the
wonderful fellowship of the church. We
warmly invite you to join with us at
Redeeming Grace Fellowship.
