The beliefs and doctrine of the Christ Covenant Church are based on the Holy Bible, God's infallible written Word contained in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.


 
 
We acknowledge the ultimate authority of the Holy Scriptures in all matters of the Christian faith. We have adopted the following historic confessions as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures:
     
    The Ecumenical Creeds
   
     
    The Three Forms of Unity
   
     
These confessions not only summarize the heart of the Christian faith, but also summarize some of our distinctives as a particular body. As such, our confessions do not necessarily define the boundaries of our fellowship. Some Christians will certainly differ with some of the statements in these confessions. Such Christians are nevertheless welcome to worship the Lord together with us.

These confessions do represent the doctrinal understanding of the eldership of Langley Reformed Evangelical Church, and it is our intention that the teaching and preaching at Langley Reformed Evangelical Church reflect his understanding also.

As a body of reformational evangelicals, we seek to display our unity in truth with other faithful churches, not only in the present, but also with the historic Christian church throughout the ages. Although we have not officially adopted the following confessions, we are in general agreement with the following historic confessions of the Reformation:
     
 
  • Westminster Confession of Faith (1647)
  • American Westminster Confession of Faith (1788)
  • The London Baptist Confession (1689)
  • The Savoy Declaration (1658)
     
And as members of the Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals, we can also express our agreement with the Confession of Reformed Evangelicals.

From time to time our church may adopt position papers on current issues (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, Christian education, women in the military, etc.). These papers do not carry the same weight as our confessions. They have not stood the test of time nor the scrutiny of the Church universal. However, they do represent the thinking of the eldership on a particular issue.
