About Shasta Reformed Church
Shasta Reformed Church is a new church plant in Shasta county. We are a community of believers committed to the faithful preaching and teaching of the Word of God, the sacraments, prayer, and the fellowship of the saints. Our desire is to see all peoples magnify and enjoy the glory of God in the Lord Jesus Christ. We welcome you to join us in our unwavering commitment to worship Christ the King and work diligently, by his grace, to build his kingdom here in Shasta County.
What We Believe
We will teach, believe, and hold to: The Westminster Confession & Shorter Catechism, The Apostles Creed, The Nicene Creed, The Athanasian creed, The Definition Of Chalcedon, The Canons of Dort, and The Nashville Statement.
We believe when God's people gather together to worship him, they must do so according to God's law. We believe that covenant worship of God, as seen in the scriptures, is always organized in these six aspects:
-
God Reveals himself and calls his people to worship.
-
The people acknowledge their sins and confess their need for forgiveness.
-
God provides atonement.
-
God speaks his word.
-
God’s people respond with commitment.
-
God hosts a celebratory feast.
We believe that the church needs to function according to what God has revealed in scripture. We commit, as a church, to be devoted to these eight functions.
