Certainly! It isn’t necessary that the members of the church adopt the Westminster Confession as their own. What is necessary is that one has a sincere profession of faith in Christ. When someone joins the church, here are the five things they need to agree with – the vows they will make before the congregation, answering in the affirmative these five questions:

1. Do you believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the Word of God, and its doctrine of salvation to be the perfect and only true doctrine of salvation?
2. Do you believe in one living and true God, in whom eternally there are three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—who are the same in being and equal in power and glory, and that Jesus Christ is God the Son, come in the flesh?
3. Do you confess that because of your sinfulness you abhor and humble yourself before God, that you repent of your sin, and that you trust for salvation not in yourself but in Jesus Christ alone?
4. Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ as your sovereign Lord, and do you promise that, in reliance on the grace of God, you will serve him with all that is in you, forsake the world, resist the devil, put to death your sinful deeds and desires, and lead a godly life?
5. Do you promise to participate faithfully in this church’s worship and service, to submit in the Lord to its government, and to heed its discipline, even in case you should be found delinquent in doctrine or life?

When the offering plate is passed, don’t feel any pressure to put anything in it. We do teach the biblical principle of giving for believers as part of being good stewards of what God has given us.

If you have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and are a member in good standing of an evangelical, Bible believing church, and have a clear conscience before God, you are welcome to partake of the Lord’s Supper.

You’ll probably want to bring your Bible! And if you forget that, we’ll have an extra copy in the pew. As the pastor preaches, you’re encouraged to turn to the passage he is preaching on and other passages that he will cross-reference.

We are a reverent, traditional church. We sing hymns and psalms and recite creeds and confessions. The worship service lasts about one hour and fifteen minutes. Music consists of piano and organ accompaniment. Expect to hear expository preaching from the Bible.
