Our First Principles

Our Mission:

The congregation of Kirk O’ the Isles Presbyterian Church exists to serve the glory of God’s name, the growth of God’s kingdom, and the good of God’s people. While our vision reaches with the gospel to the ends of the earth, our first goal is to gather and grow disciples in a parish extending from Savannah’s historic Island communities through to the Midtown of our beloved city.

Our First Principles:

As a congregation, all that we are and all that we do flows from an unflinching commitment to three foundational principles:

  1. The Word of God. We believe in the Bible as the inerrant, infallible, inspired and sufficient Word of God. It is the first and final authority on all matters of faith and life at the Kirk.
  2. The Great Commission. In obedience to our Savior’s last words, we live to reach out to the lost and build up mature disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  3. The Reformed Faith (Essay). We are committed to the doctrines of the Reformed Faith as set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms.   We believe God ordinarily uses three means to pour out His grace upon His people: The Word, Prayer, and the Sacraments of the Church. These are what the Reformers called, “The Ordinary Means of Grace.”   They lie at the heart of what makes a healthy Church. We believe our families grow best when they expose themselves to these conduits of God’s gracious power that He has promised to bless.
