Our story is but a part of His story.

We are a particular church of the recently-formed,
grassroots Vanguard Presbyterian Church.

We love God and our neighbors because God has first loved us.
Luke 10:27 (LSB)
I John 4:9 (LSB)

We love the revelation God has given to us of Himself in the Scriptures of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments.

We love what the creeds of the ancient church together with the confessions and catechisms developed by the Reformers in the 16th and 17th centuries reveal about God through His Word.

We hold to Scripture as our highest and only infallible authority in faith and practice.

We hold to the Westminster Standards as the best human distillation of Scriptural doctrine.

We long to repeat the gospel news and gospel commands to our neighbors, the nations, and the generations, for Jesus has all authority and is with us always.
Matthew 28:18-20 (LSB)

As we learn of Him and spread the knowledge of His glory, we believe that His churches will be full of His saints whom He is seeking and calling unto Himself.
Isaiah 11:6-9 (LSB)

Soli Deo Gloria!

We worship weekly to remember Yahweh Who has cut covenant with Himself in order to change rebellious sinners into repentant saints, for it is in remembrance and worship that we rest in His justification and rejoice in His sanctification of all who believe.

We bear witness in the world to the fact that God has sovereignly ordained and is perfectly orchestrating all things to reveal His glory.  We labor in our work, our studies, our interactions with others in order to make known the astounding glory of God.  We meet physical needs and give spiritual significance to our deeds through our words that point ourselves and others to God.

We long to see churches full and churches planted that then plant more churches.

We are on our way to the New Jerusalem where God eternally dwells with His people.  John tells us in Revelation that the New Jerusalem comes out of a new heavens and comes to rest upon a new earth.  There is no sun or moon or stars, for the Lord God is the light of the city.  The city is a perfect cube, covering a distance much farther than the eye can see.  It is the fulfillment of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord's filling the whole earth as the waters cover the sea.  It is God's dwelling with His people in perfect peace, joy, and love planned from all eternity, purchased at the cross and empty tomb, and prepared for all who believe in Christ alone for their righteousness.  

As we walk ever so briefly the path of this life, we are seeking to be the salt that preserves the world and the light that reveals God to friends, family, neighbors, and nations.  

Soli Deo Gloria!
