Our Beliefs at Jordan Presbyterian

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant and complete Word of God, and is our ultimate authority concerning what to believe and how to live. (2Timothy 3:15-16, Galatians 1:6-12)

We believe that God exists in three persons from all eternity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, yet distinct from one another. (Genesis 1:1-3, John 1:1-18, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19)

We believe that, at the appropriate time, God the Son became a man (Jesus Christ), in order to save God's people for His own glory and our good. (John 1:14, Galatians 4:4-5)

We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of all who trust Christ alone for their salvation and that He enables us to believe the promises of God and live for Him. (Galatians 4:6-7, Galatians 3:2-5, John 16:5-7)

We believe that man was created in the spiritual image of God to bring glory to God by enjoying Him forever, but that this fellowship has been broken through man's disobedience. Jesus Christ came to restore this relationship between God and man by living the perfect life that no man can live, dying in our place on a cross and rising from the dead so that we can once again enjoy God today and forever. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 3:1-7, Romans 3:20-22, 2Corinth- ians 5:17-18, Hebrews 9:28)

We believe that Heaven is a free gift to those who believe and that it is not earned or deserved but is available to anyone who will trust only what Christ has done for them. (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-10)

We believe that all who know Christ, as He is revealed in the Bible alone, are brothers and sisters joined together by the Holy Spirit and are to live in unity and peace. (1Corinthians 12:12-13, Galatians 3:2-5)

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself. (1Thessalonians 4:16-18, Hebrews 9:27, Daniel 7:13-14 and Revelation 1:12-18)

We believe that the purpose for which Christians gather is to worship God, who through Christ has demonstrated His love for us and through His Spirit has made this known to us. (Hebrews 10:25, Hebrews 13:15, John 15:26)

Core Values of

Jordan Presbyterian Church

At Jordan Presbyterian we value a church culture that is:

Christ-centered - Christ, in his mercy, made mercy available to any who would come to him. Therefore no person or group of persons or ideas will be prioritized over our only Savior, Jesus Christ. He alone is worthy of our allegiance, since He is God from all eternity. Therefore, all that we say and do in our worship and work will be clearly focused on His glory and in harmony with His Word. (Philippians 3:7-8)

Humble - Because Christ has shown himself mighty and good in salvation we will humble ourselves to him in faith-based, grace-driven, kingdom-focused prayer. (Proverbs 3:34)

Honest - Because Christ already knew everything about us before we became Christians and decided to die for us anyway, we can be in a place of honest confession that we might give and receive the healing forgiveness He offers. (James 5:16)

Vibrant - Because we have a God who loves life we will live it to the full, following Christ's commands by the grace of the Holy Spirit and valuing the lives of others over our own. (John 10:10)

Accepting - Because Christ allowed us to "come as we are" we will invite and welcome others in the same manner. (Matthew 11:28-30, John 6:37, Romans 15:7)

Generous - In response to the grace that has been lavished on us through Christ Jesus we will give generously to Christ and our fellow man. With our time, talents, money, spiritual gifts and other resources we will be generous to extend Christ's Kingdom in Utah and around the world. (2 Corinthians 8:1-7, Ephesians1:6-8)

Outgoing - As another expression of our generosity we will be un-apologetically evangelistic. We will offer the grace of Christ to our neighbors in our worship services as well as in our daily interactions with others, giving them opportunities to respond. (Revelation 5:9, Matthew 13)

Educational - Because our Christ continues to teach us, we will seek to be a center of Christian Education for ourselves and our neighbors, a group of people from whom they can learn the truth about Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:9-10)

Expressive - Because God pursued us with a passion we will be a place of passion. We are a place where people will be free to express themselves openly (within the parameters of Biblical expression), without fear of reprimand. Laughter and tears, celebration and mourning will be welcome. (Philippians 4:4, Romans 12:15)

Expanding - Because God sent His Son into the world, and because others cannot hear without someone being sent to them, we will be ever seeking to start new churches, as the Lord enables to the end of planting a PCA Presbytery in Utah and extending his kingdom throughout the world. (Matthew 28:19-20)
