Faith Statement
Rooted in Scripture, the Reformed tradition, and the Five Solas
Faith Statement
We subscribe to the Thirty-Nine Articles and Westminster Confession of Faith. This understanding of the faith is essentially the same as what was believed by other Reformed churches throughout Europe at the time of Reformation. For example, here is a lecture series on what came to be known as The Five Solas of the Reformation; here, it is taught from a strictly Anglican perspective in complete agreement with the 39 Articles.

Scripture Alone
Sola Scriptura
A cornerstone of our Reformed Anglican faith — confessed in the Thirty-Nine Articles and taught throughout the churches of CRC India.
In abbreviated form, the chief tenets of the doctrine of the Church, apart from the Apostles' Creed, are as follows:
We believe in the divine, verbal, and plenary inspiration of the Scriptures in the original languages, their consequent inerrancy and infallibility, and, as the Word of God, the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
Objectives of the church
The objects for which the Church is established are:
We completely understand the importance of the following principles:
The salvation of souls.
The edification of Christians through the teaching of God's Word
The promotion of godly worship
The defense of the "faith which was once delivered unto the saints"
The establishment and extension of Christian missions and institutions for the furtherance of God's Kingdom on earth
The promotion of Christian relief for the poor and needy
The strengthening of mutual fellowship, encouragement, and unity among other fundamental and Bible-believing churches of similar stand "for the Word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 1:9).
These principles are crucial in the life of a Church, and we should always strive to uphold and promote them.
