Welcome to the Home Page of Grace Presbyterian Church of Aiken, SC. We are part of the Presbyterian Church in America. Here at Grace, we are committed to the Scriptures as our only rule for faith and life! Yet at the same time, we recognize the need to state those beliefs in the form of a creed. Our beliefs are best summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith along with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. While this may seem contradictory, we recognize that all belief systems have creeds whether they admit it or not. Therefore we use the Westminster Confession to help us understand and teach our beliefs.

We are also committed to the Great Commission which includes the evangelization of the world and the spiritual growth of God's people through the ministry of the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

We meet every Sunday at 9:45 a.m. for Sunday school, and at 10:50 a.m. for worship. Pastor Timothy is currently leading the church through a series of sermons from the book of Hebrews. We also meet on Sunday evening at 6 p.m. for a more casual service.

What We Believe

Our beliefs are summarized by the five pillars of the reformation known as the “Five Solas.” These are Latin phrases the reformers believed described the only things necessary for salvation. 

Sola Scriptura – “By Scripture Alone”

The Bible is the only inspired and authoritative Word of God, is the only source for Christian doctrine, and is accessible to all — that is, it is clear and self-interpreting. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Sola Gratia – “By Grace Alone”

Salvation comes by God's grace or "unmerited favor" only—not as something merited by the sinner. This means that salvation is an unearned gift from God. (Romans 3:23-24)

Sola Fide – “By Faith Alone”

Justification for the sinner is only by faith alone, which is a gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Solas Christus – “By Christ Alone”

Christ Jesus is the only mediator between God and man and salvation is by none other. (Acts 4:12).

Sola Deo Gloria – “Glory to God Alone”

God is sovereign over all things, therefore, all glory is due to God alone, since salvation is accomplished solely through his will and action—not only the gift of the all-sufficient atonement of Jesus on the cross but also the gift of faith in that atonement, created in the heart of the believer by the Holy Spirit.  (Romans 11:36)
