Heirs of the Protestant Reformation
Cedar Ridge is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America, an association
of 1,300 autonomous churches united by a mutual committment to serve the Lord Jesus Christ
with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obedience to the word of God.
Cedar Ridge joyfully embraces its Biblical, Reformational roots, affirming the same fundamental
truths that were so important to the Protestant Reformers: Martin Luther, William Tyndale,
John Calvin, John Knox and others. With them, we affirm:
- Scripture Alone - The Bible is the final authority on all
matters of faith and life.
- Christ Alone - We are saved solely by the merits of Jesus
Christ, who died for our sins on the cross and who alone has the perfect righteousness we need
to stand uncondemned in the holy presence of God Almighty.
- Faith Alone - Christ's perfect righteousness is imputed to
all those, but only those, who trust in His work alone as the basis of their acceptance with God.
- Grace Alone - Salvation is a sovereign act of almighty God.
He must change our hearts and create faith within us before we will ever be willing to come to
Christ for salvation.
- Glory to God Alone - Since salvation is purely an act of God,
and not a cooperative act of man plus God, God deserves all the glory for our salvation. God
works all things together in a grand symphony, for our ultimate good and His ultimate glory.
