Who We Are

Who We Are

We are a community of people committed to declaring and displaying the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is our hope that we, as a church, might live in such a way that Jesus might be more beautiful and believable to North Raleigh.

We desire to be

A Worshiping Community

A community that makes worshiping the Lord together particularly in corporate worship a priority.

A Serving Community

A community that looks out for the needs of others, considering others as more important than ourselves (a "you" first mentality), pouring out our lives for God, one another, and the world.

A Praying Community

A community committed to looking to God in prayer and not ourselves to accomplish His work.

A Family Community

A community where we have spiritual mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters to whom we are connected and called to love and serve.

 

A Learning Community

A community committed to learning biblical truth and applying it to all of life.

A Growing Community

A community striving to grow in love for God, one another, and service to God as we proclaim the Gospel to the community around us through our words and actions.

A Hopeful Community

A community that believes God is at work in our midst and in the world extending his Kingdom.

These characteristics are adapted from Sinclair Ferguson's teaching on Acts 2.

What We Believe

Redeemer Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). A full statement of what we believe is expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Below is a summary statement of faith.

  • We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

  • We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.

  • We believe that salvation is by God alone, as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

 

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.

  • We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

  • We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

  • We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.

  • We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
