Westminster Orthodox Presbyterian Church
What We Believe
Our Church is not new. We trace our historic roots to the sixteenth-century doctrinal statement, the Westminster Confession of Faith, together with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms. These doctrinal statements were adopted by our denomination in 1936, when it was established. In a age in which people are called on to believe as little as possible, the thirty-three chapters of the Confession stand as one of the most comprehensive summaries of the teaching of Scripture in the history of Christianity.

The twentieth century witnessed the progressive rejection of traditional values. The Bible, has not been spared from this new thinking. The Orthodox Presbyterian Church is committed to defending and maintaining the truths of God's Word and the Church itself is the embodiment of this committment to Scripture.
The only infallible rule of faith and practice in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Bible alone (Sola Scriptura) gives us correct knowledge of who God is and how we may please Him.
