What we believe at Mitchell Road & in The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)

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

Mitchell Road Presbyterian Church Teacher/Leader Agreement

In light of the nature of our task as teachers and leaders in the church of Jesus Christ and in light of Mitchell Road Presbyterian's affiliation with the Presbyterian Church in America, we ask that Fellows, because of their ministry leadership roles, indicate their agreement to the following statements by signing below:

I have committed my life to Jesus Christ and seek to follow Him as my Lord and Savior.
I will seek to model before those with whom I work a consistent Christian life characterized by devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I willingly submit to the leadership and authority of the Session and Staff of Mitchell Road Presbyterian Church in so far as it bears on my teaching.
While a Fellow, I will not teach ideas or doctrine which I know to be contrary to MRPC's doctrinal stance as outlined above.

Your Signature

I affirm that the information I have provided in this application, including all attachments, is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
