Covenant of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a Christian church that stands in the historic Reformed and Presbyterian tradition. The Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) is a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching Presbyterian denomination that began in the 1930s. Although we use the word Orthodox in our name, we are not to be confused with churches in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Orthodox simply means "straight teaching", from the Latin ortho, meaning "straight" and dox, meaning "teaching".

We believe that the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the infallible and inerrant word of God.

We believe in and worship the one living and triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, the maker of heaven and earth.

We believe that God created mankind, male and female, morally upright and in His image. As a result of sin and rebellion against God, however, mankind has fallen from this upright condition and the image of God has been severely marred in him. We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

We believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who, in the fullness of time, took to Himself a human nature and was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life and offered Himself at the cross to make full atonement for sinners. We believe that on the third day He was raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for His people, until He comes again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe that salvation is a gracious gift of God from beginning to end and is obtained by God's grace through the repenting of ones sin and placing one's trust and faith completely in the Lord Jesus Christ alone.
