We believe and confess the truth of the Bible as the church of all ages has summarized it in the three ecumenical (worldwide) creeds, namely, the Twelve Articles of Faith (or Apostles' Creed), the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed.  These creeds date from the first centuries A.D.

    After the Reformation of the sixteenth century, it became necessary to clarify further what the Bible teaches concerning the way of salvation in Jesus Christ.  What we confess as a Reformed church is summarized in the Belgic Confession (written in 1561), the Heidelberg Catechism (written 1563) and the Canons of Dort (written in 1618/1619).

    Since these confessions particularly teach the gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, we not only seek to defend these truths but also to promote them, and we extend the hand of fellowship to all persons and churches who desire to serve God on this foundation.

    We are known as a Reformed church because we hold to the truth of the gospel as it was recovered in the Reformation.  We are called a Canadian Reformed Church because we want to live, work, worship and witness within the context of our Canadian society.
