Our Statements
What is a Faith Statement?
At the Reformed Church of Highland Park, we believe that faith is not simply an expression of belief, but is also an active response to God’s movement in the world. Therefore, there can be no singular faith statement that encapsulates the full mission and witness of the church to the ever-changing context of our shared life of faith. Listed here are a few major statements we have drafted to convey the movement of God’s Spirit in our various covenants and commitments as a church.
Mission Statement
On Being Open and Affirming for LGBTQ+ Persons
On Sanctuary for Immigrants
On Anti-Racist Faith
On Environmental Justice
On “Safe Sanctuaries” for Children and Youth
Faithful Historical Witnesses
We consider these statements to be faithful witnesses to God’s movement in our lives and in the world, in conversation and harmony with other historical documents of our faith, including those held to be authoritative in the Reformed Christian tradition and doctrine. We affirm the primacy of Holy Scripture among all historical documentary witnesses, revealing to us the living and active Word of God.
