What we believe
Our mission
In keeping with the Great Commission, Providence strives to be a transformed Christian community, centered in the worship of God and bearing witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord. As Christ’s disciples, we endeavor to build vibrant lives, strong families, and a fellowship in which members care for and love one another and together seek the well-being of our city, state, and world. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to develop a vital preaching and teaching ministry aimed at drawing men and women to Christ; healing, comforting and nurturing them in the faith; equipping them for service, and deploying them effectively into all walks of life. We are committed to discipling and encouraging every member of Providence to passionately and intentionally pursue the preeminence of Jesus Christ.

Reformed doctrine
We believe the reformers of the Protestant Reformation recovered and systematized the correct understanding of Scripture as intended by God when He inspired its human authors. It has been summarized in these five Reformed doctrines: Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Christ Alone, To the Glory of God Alone.
Reformed Theology holds that we should only include in our worship what the Bible says pleases God. This principle assures us that God accepts our worship and also keeps us free from the bias and tyranny of men. Our worship is simple but beautiful and always focuses on the glory of God through the elements of worship
commanded by Scripture.

Real life
All human beings are made equally in the image of God for the purpose of glorifying and enjoying Him forever. Though sinners in Adam, in Christ we are able to live God-pleasing lives again. We do this in all of life by trusting in His promises, obeying His commands, believing in and witnessing to His truth. In everything we seek to more and more love God and love our neighbors.
