Our New Statement of Faith

As a local church, we have the privilege of being united in mission with churches around the globe. While there are numerous values and priorities we share, it is the truth of God’s Word that ultimately anchors our partnership with Sovereign Grace Churches. What we believe, what we cherish, and what we proclaim from God’s Word defines and directs us as a family of confessional local churches.

In light of this, we are excited about our new statement of faith. We are deeply grateful for the time and effort Jeff Purswell and the Sovereign Grace Theology Committee have taken to sharpen and clarify this document that represents the doctrine we believe to be essential to our convictions, conduct and testimony as both a local church and a family of churches.

As Director of Theology and Training for Sovereign Grace Churches, Jeff Purswell (MDiv, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is the Dean of the Pastors College. He is the editor of Bible Doctrine (an abridgment of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology), an editor and contributor to Scripture and the People of God: Essays in Honor of Wayne Grudem, and he contributed a chapter to Wordliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World. He serves on the board of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and is a pastor at Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville. He and his wife, Julie, have two sons.
