Oreland Presbyterian Church

We are a Confessing Church

The Oreland Presbyterian Church is joined with over 400,000 faithful believers confessing:

That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the only way to salvation.
That Holy Scripture is the triune God's revealed word, and the Church's only infallible rule in faith and life.
That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship with which sexual activity is appropriate.

Our Statement of Faith
We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the Word of God and the only rule for faith and life. We acknowledge the inborn sinfulness of humanity, which separates people from God and one another. We believe that reconciliation to Almighty God only comes to individuals as each is drawn to God (John 6:44), repents of sin (Mark 1:15) and believes in God's only son, Jesus, as Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9).

We affirm that the sacrifice of Jesus by His death on the cross made full atonement for sin and, having risen from the dead, He reigns with the Father as Lord of life. As we await Christ's return in glory, we affirm that salvation and obedience to God not only prepares the believer for eternal life, but through the Holy Spirit, empowers us to love one another and bear witness to Jesus and His gospel, to the ends of the earth.
