Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and the Tennessee Valley Presbytery is the regional presbytery of which we are a part. In summary, the PCA seeks to be faithful to the Scriptures, true to the Reformed tradition and obedient to the Great Commission of our Savior and King. As a member of the PCA, LMPC holds to the following basic beliefs of the Christian faith.
Basic Beliefs
- God is the one and only God. There are three persons in the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the creator of all things made.
- Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is the second person of the Trinity. He is the one and only Savior and Redeemer of the world. There is no other hope for mankind except through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
- Salvation is by God’s saving grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. Good works are a result of salvation, not a cause of it.
- The Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as originally given is the inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Bible is the basis for our doctrine and knowledge of God. All of our teaching needs to be based upon the truths found in the Bible.
- The Doctrine of LMPC is Reformed Theology as evidenced in Scripture and expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. (Continuing through this application indicates that I have read questions 1-107 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.)
I affirm that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior and I covenant with God:*
- to teach Bible lessons in accordance with the Scriptures and the doctrinal beliefs of LMPC.
- that I will not teach anything out of accord with LMPC’s system of doctrine.
- to honor these basic beliefs as I carry out my daily duties of teaching and fulfilling my responsibilities as communicated to me by my ministry supervisor(s).
- to strive to maintain a teachable spirit and adhere to the LMPC Child Protection Policy adopted by the Session.
- to be diligent to attend worship services regularly.
