Our Beliefs

Grace Mosaic Church is part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We are a Reformed, Presbyterian church—rooted in the historic Christian faith, shaped by the Scriptures, and centered on the good news of Jesus Christ.

What follows is a summary of what we believe. Our full theological commitments are expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms, which serve as faithful guides to the teaching of Scripture.

The Scriptures

We believe the Bible is God’s Word—true, trustworthy, and given for our good.
The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by the Holy Spirit and speak with God’s authority in all that they address. Through Scripture, God reveals who he is, who we are, what has gone wrong in the world, and how he is making all things new through Jesus Christ.

The Bible is to be believed, trusted, and obeyed as God’s gracious instruction to his people.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 19:7–11; Hebrews 1:1–2; 2 Peter 1:20–21;Isaiah 55:10–11

God

We believe in one true and living God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is holy and loving, sovereign and merciful. He created all things, sustains all things, and rules over all things according to his wise and good purposes.

God is not distant or detached. From the beginning, he has been at work to redeem a people for himself and to restore his broken creation—ultimately for the praise of his glorious grace.

Genesis 1:1-2; Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:3-14

Humanity

We believe that human beings are created in the image of God, male and female, with dignity, purpose, and value. We were made to know God, live in right relationship with one another, and care for the world he has entrusted to us.

Yet the Bible also teaches that humanity has rebelled against God. Because of our sin, our relationship with God is broken, our loves are disordered, and our world is marked by pain, injustice, and death. Left to ourselves, we are unable to heal what is broken or return to God on our own.

Genesis 1:26–28; Psalm 8:4–6; Genesis 3:1–19; Romans 3:9–23; Ecclesiastes 7:29

Jesus Christ

We believe that God did not leave us in our lostness.

Out of sheer grace, God the Son took on human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. Fully God and fully man, Jesus lived the life we could not live—faithful, obedient, and without sin. He willingly suffered and died on the cross as a substitute for sinners, bearing God’s just judgment in our place.

On the third day, Jesus was raised bodily from the dead, defeating sin and death. He ascended into heaven and now reigns as Lord, interceding for his people. One day, he will return to make all things new.

John 1:1–14; Colossians 1:15–20; Hebrews 1:1-4, 4:15; Isaiah 52:13-53:12; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8; Acts 1:9–11; Revelation 21:5

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

We are saved not by our efforts or moral performance, but by trusting in Jesus Christ and turning from our sin. When we do, God forgives us, declares us righteous in his sight, adopts us into his family, and gives us new life by the Holy Spirit.

Good works do not earn salvation—but they naturally flow from a life transformed by grace.

Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 3:21–26; Titus 3:4–7; Galatians 2:16; Romans 8:1

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit gives life to God’s people.
He opens our hearts to believe the gospel, unites us to Christ, and begins the lifelong work of renewal. The Spirit dwells in believers, forming us in holiness, equipping us for service, and empowering us to love God and neighbor.

John 3:5–8; John 16:5–15; Romans 8:9–11; Galatians 5:16–25; Ephesians 1:13–14

The Church

We believe the church is the people of God, redeemed by Christ and united by the Spirit. The global church is made visible through local congregations, where God gathers his people for worship, community, formation, and mission.

The church exists not for itself alone, but to bear witness to God’s grace—proclaiming the gospel, practicing hospitality, seeking justice and mercy, and serving our neighbors in love.

Matthew 16:13-20; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 2:19–22; Ephesians 4:11–16; 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9–12

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe baptism and the Lord’s Supper are gifts given by Jesus to his church.
Through them, God strengthens our faith, assures us of his promises, and reminds us that salvation is his work from beginning to end. These sacraments point us to Christ, nourish our hope, and anticipate the day when he returns.

Matthew 28:18–20; Romans 6:3–4; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; 1 Corinthians 10:16–17; Acts 2:38–39

The Return of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ will return—personally, visibly, and bodily.
On that day, God’s work of redemption will be complete. Evil will be judged, creation will be renewed, and God will dwell with his people forever.

This is our hope—and it shapes how we live, worship, and serve today.

John 14:1–3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18; 2 Peter 3:10–13; Revelation 21:1–5; Revelation 22:20
