To say that we are committed catholics is to say that we embrace those basic beliefs and practices of the church throughout history. Though we locate ourselves firmly within the more specific Reformed tradition, we are most devoted to those beliefs which define Christians as Christians.  Thus we will seek always to find ways to pursue the unity of Christ’s church and will partner with the various churches from other traditions located within our neighborhoods as often and as fully as possible.  One primary way we are seeking Christian unity is in that central practice of the Christian church: corporate worship.  Our churches will attempt to combine an appreciation for the richness of the church’s liturgical heritage with a vibrancy that is refreshing, avoiding both uncomfortable novelty and stuffy traditionalism.  In our worship we are devoted to the preached Word and to the sacraments of Baptism and Communion as the means of grace for God’s people and will celebrate them as such.
