About Us
What’s in a name?
Why “Sovereign Grace”?
The word Sovereign means supreme ruler. At Sovereign Grace we believe that God has supreme authority over all his creation including man’s salvation which he provides to us by grace through the death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ.
Why “Orthodox”
The “ortho” in orthodox comes from the Greek word for “straight.” The “dox” comes from the Greek term for “thinking.”
At Sovereign Grace you will find straight preaching and teaching of the word of God.
Why “Presbyterian”?
We believe that the Bible calls men of wisdom and experience (i.e., elders) to exercise oversight of God’s people in the local church. “Presbyterian” is derived from the Greek word meaning “elder.” The members of Sovereign Grace recognize that our elders represent Christ to the body.
Faith and Practice
We trace our roots to the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation which produced the doctrinal statement known as the Westminster Confession of Faith. Together with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, this statement summarizes the system of doctrine taught in the Bible. This gathering of Bible teaching is sometimes called “The Reformed Faith.”
We believe that the Bible alone gives us the correct knowledge of salvation. It teaches that God the Father gave up his Son Jesus Christ to death on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of his people.
We want to share with you the blessing that comes from a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We seek to do this through Christ-centered, expository preaching and personal example.
