What We Believe

Our Faith

Sovereign Hope Church

Sovereign Hope is classically Protestant, drawing from the full richness of the Christian faith. From Augustine to Wycliffe, from Luther to Calvin, we seek to identify with the best of the broader Reformation and Christian heritage.

We boldly proclaim that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. 

We subscribe to several creeds and confessions, which express an important part of who we are and what we believe.

What We Believe

Creeds & Confessions
The Christian church, throughout the two thousand years of her history, has contended for the faith, laboring to preserve and proclaim the whole counsel of God. In the providence of God, this has often been accomplished through the careful and deliberate formulation of creeds and confessions. These confessions serve to summarize the essential doctrines of Holy Scripture, as well as to guard the Church of God against error.

Among these historic creeds, we receive and affirm the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Definition of Chalcedon.

We subscribe to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) as our primary doctrinal standard.

SHC leadership has also developed a more concise summary of our central doctrinal commitments for more clarity and ease of use.
