Doctrine & Beliefs
"For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, the righteous shall live by faith."
Romans 1:17
A Bible-Believing Church
​
Moriah Bible-Presbyterian Church affirms the five solas of the Protestant Reformation, namely, Sola scriptura (“by Scripture alone”), Sola fide (“by faith alone”), Sola gratia (“by grace alone”), Solus Christus (“through Christ alone”), and Soli Deo gloria (“glory to God alone”). We also continue to hold on to the core fundamentals of the Christian faith, that is, the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of substitutionary atonement, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and the personal return of Jesus Christ.
​
A Reformed Church
​
As a Bible-Presbyterian Church, Moriah cherishes and closely adheres to the doctrines as laid out in the Westminster Standards (comprising of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms). Our church constitution states in Article 4.1, “The doctrine of the Church shall be in accordance with that system commonly called ‘the Reformed Faith’ as expressed in the Confession of Faith as set forth by the historic Westminster Assembly together with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms.”
​
A Historic Church
​
Although Moriah Bible-Presbyterian Church is a young church, we stand on the shoulders of faithful men and women of the Lord who have gone before us. Our beliefs are based upon the confessions of the Reformed Faith, and we trace our roots back to the work of men that the Lord has raised, such as John Calvin and the Westminster Divines of the 16th and 17th centuries, Augustine of the 3rd century, and ultimately to the Apostles and our Lord Jesus Christ.
