Our name reflects our commitment to the Bible. It was embraced by a group of visionaries fifty years ago. They envisioned a church that would be aggressive in meeting practical needs through a loving and caring people who live in the mainstream of society. To be orthodox one not only seeks to be true to the teachings of the Bible, but to prove their relevance in answering the needs of society. Orthodox Presbyterians have uniquely answered the challenge of proving the Bible's ability to address and resolve the hard questions.
Faith proves itself when a people of faith sacrifice to serve their society.
Neither computers nor nuclear energy have outmoded the Bible. We are persuaded that it is without error, and it is God's dynamic and living message for us today. The Bible alone tells us what we need to know in order to live a purposeful life and die at peace with God. Because we take the Bible seriously, its important teachings are summarized in our statement of belief, designed to be a guide for living and faith. That statement is the Westminster Confession of Faith.
