Confessionally Reformed
We stay tethered to the faith of our fathers: the Scriptures as confessed in the Reformed standards, especially Westminster.
Every church and organization has aspects of who they are and what they do that are distinct to the culture they are aiming to build. We are no different at CTK. The things we believe inform the way we live and the ways we do what we do. In our Distinctives, we aim to name those things to protect us from losing focus on them as time passes and to give others a fair sense of who we are, why, and how we would see you be a part of it.
With that, you'll note that we have six cultural distinctives below, each beginning with a principle that underlies and supports that cultural characteristic, and ending with the ways this key principle comes to bear in our community and fellowship. We are not hearers only, but doers also, thus these principles must truly drive our practice if we are to be consistent and honest before God and man.
We stay tethered to the faith of our fathers: the Scriptures as confessed in the Reformed standards, especially Westminster.
We labor as an optimistic people, sure that Christ and his Church will see gospel victory in every sphere of life.
We are one small part of the historic, worldwide Church, and glad of true brothers wherever the creeds are confessed.
Whole households worship together; the children of believers belong in the assembly, not in another room.
Male and female are equal in dignity before God, distinct in calling, for human good and flourishing.
Culture runs downstream from worship; we will not keep Christ behind the church doors one day a week.
