The Session of The Highland Heights Presbyterian Church
Cordova, Tennessee
Confesses that We Believe:

That Jesus Christ alone is Savior and Lord. 

This good news frees us from the tyranny of false lords and false saviors who have no power to save or liberate from sin.

That the salvation that Jesus provides is only through the grace of God and is received by faith alone in Jesus as He is offered to us in the Gospel.

This good news frees us from the tyranny of futile attempts to save ourselves through our good works or through vain dependence upon other false hopes.

That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the unique and authoritative witness to Jesus Christ and our only infallible rule of faith and practice.

This good news frees us from the tyranny of lesser authorities who have no power to show us either the way of salvation or the manner is which we should live in God's creation.

That the Bible reveals to us the will of God and enables us to live in ways that are pleasing to Him and that make for peace and righteousness.

This good news frees us from the tyranny of life styles that are destructive of persons and human communities.

That God is calling us to holiness in all aspects of life. This includes His call to reserve the gift of sexual relations for the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.

This good news frees us from the tyranny of anarchy and chaos in sexual relations that destroy families and blight the happiness of individuals.

That the Scriptures and our confessions teach us that persons called to serve as officers in the church must live lives of discipline and holiness.

This good news frees us from the tyranny of confusion that results when the Church sets its approval upon open sin by setting apart persons to office whose unrepentant sinfulness brings shame upon the Church of Jesus Christ.

We further believe that this confession reflects the historic faith of the Christian Church and the traditional confessions of The Presbyterian Church (USA) and is a faithful response to the challenges to the Christian Faith posed by the times and the culture in which God has called us to live.
