Message from our Pastor
Welcome to the College Hill Reformed
Presbyterian Church (CHRP) Website! My name is Titus Martin and I am
the associate pastor of CHRP. Our church is a congregation of the
Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA). We are a
gospel-centered church in the Reformed tradition. Our subordinate
standards include the Westminster Confession of Faith and the
Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Our mission is to to know
and love God deeply, to serve Him joyfully, to encourage one another
faithfully, and proclaim Christ boldly. Let me explain that mission
in more detail:
Know and Love God Deeply. We are about the Reformed faith. We
consider the Holy Scriptures as the only rule of faith and life, but
we recognize in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and in the
Larger and Shorter Catechisms, a systematized collection of
doctrines that are faithful to, and consistent with, the Holy
Scriptures. We desire to lovingly disciple believers into the
fullness of the Reformed tradition.
Serve Him Joyfully. We are about worship. We believe the church
finds its fullest expression in the joyful worship of the gathered
saints on the Lord’s Day where God speaks to His people. We attempt
to draw near to God in a manner that respects His commands and
displays reverence and awe for His name, nature and attributes. We
believe that Word, sacrament and prayer are God’s appointed means of
nurturing His people.
Encourage One Another Faithfully. We are about community. We
affirm the centrality of the covenant community in the face of the
fragmentation of our modern culture. We attempt to encourage, teach
and admonish one another in a manner consistent with the Scriptures.
We endeavor to develop and cultivate close spiritual relationships
through the traditional ministry of the church, small groups and
fellowship opportunities.
Proclaim Christ Boldly. We are about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are first and foremost concerned about faithfully proclaiming the
Word of God from the pulpit in obedience to the Great Commission. We
are dedicated to cultivating a heart of evangelism that manifests
itself through each member sharing the Gospel and living rightly
before their neighbors and co-workers.
