About us

 

What Is Reformation PC?

Reformation Presbyterian Church is a conservative, Reformed, confessional church meeting in Mesa, AZ. We are Reformed in doctrine, liturgical in worship, and Presbyterian in governance.

 

What Do We Believe?

We are a gospel-centered, Bible-believing, and expository preaching church which affirms the historic doctrines of the Christian faith and of the Protestant Reformation. We confess the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God, inspired, inerrant, and the final authority for our faith and practice. We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. We believe in the Tri-unity of God: Father, Son, and Spirit. We believe the Church is to worship and work in accordance with God’s revealed will and seek to follow the Regulative Principle of Worship. And we believe in the final return of Christ, the bodily resurrection of the dead, and the hope of eternal life.

​

While Scripture is the ultimate and infallible rule of faith and practice, our congregation also affirms the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms as a faithful summary of the system of doctrine taught in Scripture and as a secondary standard.

​

Ministers, elders, and deacons in our congregation affirm the Westminster Standards as expressing their own view of Christian doctrine, but members of the congregation are only required to make a credible profession of faith in the Lord Jesus and affirm their willingness to submit to the leadership of the church.

​

Who Are We?

We are a generationally diverse group of young and old, single and married, couples and families, widows and widowers, mature believers and new coverts. We come from a variety of backgrounds and many different religious traditions, but we are united by God’s work of grace in seeking us and bringing us to himself. We share a common faith in Jesus Christ, a common confession that we are sinners saved only by the grace of God who trust in Christ alone for our salvation, and a common commitment to hear, believe, and obey God’s Word, the Bible.

What Is Our History?

Our congregation was originally established as a non-denominational church in the early 1980s. In 2013 the elders called Joel Ellis to be the Senior Pastor of Community Christian Church, as the congregation was then known. Pastor Ellis arrived with his family in September of that year and began preaching expository sermons every week. As he preached through the Book of Romans, God began reforming the congregation.
