The foundation of Christianity is a solid understanding of the Bible, which is the inerrant Word
of God. The Westminster Confession of Faith states, "The whole counsel of God concerning all things
necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture,
or ... may be deduced from Scripture."
Each week, the congregation responds antiphonally to questions from a variety of sources including the Westminster Confession, and a number of Catechisms. The current series is drawn from The Westminster Larger Catechism.
