Our Core Beliefs
Life is a challenge. As members of the First Presbyterian Church of Auburndale, we do our best to be a caring, accepting, and helpful group of people. We think it’s important to provide meaningful worship with preaching that is biblical, relevant and practical.
As the First Presbyterian Church of Auburndale, we proclaim the Bible as God’s Word for our time, the only reliable guide for our convictions and our lifestyle. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of those who believe in him.
We believe the historic Christian faith as stated in the Apostles’ Creed. We regard the Heidelberg Catechism, a sixteenth-century statement of faith, as an excellent tool for understanding the Christian faith. The catechism’s question-and-answer format, with a view toward the instruction of children, was a form adopted by the various Protestant confessions almost from the beginning of the Reformation.
