WHAT WE BELIEVE
This page is a summary list of our beliefs. For a more detailed treatment of our doctrinal standards and form of government, see our constitution below.
Creeds, Confessions, & Catechisms
Christ the King Evangelical Church takes the following creeds, confession, and catechisms as historic and reliable summaries of what Scripture teaches. They, therefore, faithfully represent our doctrinal commitments.
The Creeds
The ecumenical creeds of the early Church have always served as the doctrinal boundaries of orthodoxy. They have stood the test of time, and serve as the foundation of all our doctrinal commitments.
The Apostles’ Creed (ca. 200)
The Nicene Creed (325; revised, 381)
Definition of Chalcedon (451)
Confession and Catechisms
The Westminster Standards serve as the doctrinal standards for officers of CTK, in subordination to Scripture. While Scripture serves as the only infallible rule of faith and practice, the standards are regarded as a fallible but useful summation of biblical truth.
The Westminster Standards (including the Confession of Faith [1646] and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms [1647]; American revisions [1789])
