Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you call CVP a "confessional" church?
The term "confessional" refers to the fact that we believe it is important to recognize that we are part of the historic Church. Many godly men and women have lived before us who struggled in their own generations against various false teachings and practices. Over time, particularly in eras of great persecution or struggle, the Church gathered together to form Confessions Ð systematic summaries of the faith. These were meant to both provide accountability for the local church and to provide for everyone a clear, understandable statement of faith. While we ascribe to such Confessions as the Nicene Confession and Apostles' Creed, we believe that the Westminster Confession of Faith is the most accurate and complete statement of faith that the Church has yet created. Even so, we do not believe that any Confession or other work of man carries the authority of Scripture.
