OUR VISION

Every thought brought captive to obey Christ.

OUR MISSION

To teach our church and the nations to walk by the light of the Lamb through book publication, online content, devotional resources, and recorded music.

OUR VALUES

Biblical

All of our materials are at their core expositions of the Word of God.

Reformed Presbyterian

We teach from within the riches of Reformed, Westminsterian theology and Presbyterian church tradition.

Applied

The Bible is the King’s covenant document by which he rules his people, so our aim is to apply the Bible and theology to the real lives of Christians.

Pastoral

Our audience is first and foremost our congregation. We produce materials in a way that serves the body of Christ more broadly, but our guiding principle for whether to take on a project is whether it clearly serves Christ Church Bellingham.

Institutional

Our church has a broad vision for the institution of the church, and our publications provide the intellectual, theological, and practical support for these institutions, providing generational fidelity to their original vision.

OUR BELIEFS

Christ Church Press adheres to the historic, orthodox Christian faith as summarized in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds and practiced in the Presbyterian tradition of the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Larger (part 1, part 2) and Shorter Catechisms. All content produced by Christ Church Press contributors must adhere to the Westminster Standards.

Below is a short summary of what we believe:

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by his mercy.

We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe his choice is based on his grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through his perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in him, alone, for salvation.

We believe that God is gracious and faithful to his people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to his covenant promises.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow him.

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive his people to himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
