What We Believe

What do we believe as a church?

  • At Ladner CRC we rejoice in the gospel of God through which we have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We proclaim and submit to the unique and universal Lordship of Jesus Christ.

  • We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, the only infallible rule for faith and life.

  • We affirm three creeds—the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed—as ecumenical expressions of the Christian faith.

  • We also affirm three confessions— the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort—as historic Reformed expressions of the Christian faith, whose doctrines fully agree with the Word of God.

  • Along with these historic creeds and confessions, we recognize the witness of Our World Belongs to God: A Contemporary Testimony, adopted by synod as a current Reformed expression of the Christian faith.
