The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake...
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
[Psalm 23:1-3, 6]

God's Glorious Gospel is our everything.
gathering values
We are a confessional, independent, Christ-centered church that seeks to glorify God in Ogden. We are sinners, saved by grace alone. We are saints, by Christ alone. All are invited to worship with us and discover more about our gathering and our glorious God. These are some of our values, and what you can expect when you visit:
Families Worshiping Together
We believe in the importance of families worshiping as a whole, from children to adults, growing together in faith. Worship is not segmented but experienced as a covenant community, reflecting God’s design for His people. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Ephesians 6:1-4)
Biblical Songs Focused on the Glory of God
Our music is centered on Scripture, directing our hearts and minds to the majesty and holiness of God. We sing to exalt Him, not ourselves, grounding our songs in His Word and truth. (Psalm 96:1-4, Colossians 3:16)
Law-Gospel Distinction
We emphasize the clear distinction between God’s Law, which shows us our need for a Savior, and the Gospel, which offers the good news of grace through Christ. This framework is central to understanding our faith. (Romans 3:20-24, Galatians 3:24)
Christ-Centered Sermons from a Covenantal Perspective
Our preaching centers on Christ and His work, unfolding God's redemptive plan throughout Scripture. We explore the covenants God has made with His people, culminating in Jesus as our Savior. (Luke 24:27, 2 Corinthians 1:20)
Warm Christian Fellowship
We aim to cultivate a community marked by genuine love and care, welcoming all who gather with us in the name of Christ. Fellowship is an essential part of living out the gospel together. (Acts 2:42, Hebrews 10:24-25)
Gospel-Driven Service
Our service to others flows out of the Gospel’s transformative power in our lives. We serve not to earn God’s favor (or FOR his favor), but because we have already received it through Christ (or FROM His favor). (Galatians 5:13, 1 John 4:19)
Weekly Celebration of the Lord's Supper
Each week, we partake in the Lord’s Supper, remembering Christ’s sacrifice and experiencing His grace in this covenantal meal, a visible sign of the Gospel. We agree with the original Protestant Reformers, this is a means of grace that is meant to be observed "as often as you gather together." (1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Acts 2:42)
Independent
We are independent, not isolationist. While we are not tied to a particular denomination, we remain committed to the broader body of Christ. We value our unity under one Head, Jesus Christ, and seek to express love and wisdom toward other churches, even where doctrinal differences exist. We believe these issues should be addressed with integrity and love, especially in these polarized times. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Ephesians 4:3-6)
Reformed
To call ourselves ‘Reformed’ means we align with the practice reclaimed by the Protestant Reformers of the 16th century. We hold firmly to the core doctrines of grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone, Christ alone, and God’s glory alone. These convictions are rooted in the historic Reformed tradition, distinct from the modern trends of the so-called 'neo-Reformed' movement. Our identity is grounded in the Gospel recovered during the Reformation, which we believe is essential for a faithful expression of the Christian faith. (Romans 1:16-17, Galatians 2:16)
doctrinal distinctions
Law-Gospel Distinction
We uphold the distinction between Law and Gospel, emphasizing its crucial role in understanding and applying Scripture in the life of every believer. This theological principle clarifies how God’s commands and promises work together in our faith journey.
Gospel-Centered Pulpit
We typically have expositional preaching from our pulpit, but with an even higher priority- we are Gospel committed. We desire for every sermon to point sinners to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"We preach not to fill our churches, but to save sinners from Hell, and the two are not the same." - Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Christ-Centered Hermeneutic
Our approach to interpreting Scripture is grounded in a Christ-centered hermeneutic. This means that we seek to understand and interpret the entirety of the Bible in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Christ is the central figure, and we believe that the Old and New Testaments find their ultimate meaning and fulfillment in Him.
Priesthood of all Believers
We uphold the priesthood of all believers, emphasizing that every member of the church has a unique and significant role to play in the body of Christ. This theological commitment encourages a sense of shared responsibility, ministry, and service among all believers, highlighting the idea that each person is called to be a minister and ambassador for Christ. This plays out in our services, where we challenge the congregation to share during the Sunday Gathering.
The 5 Solas
We stand firmly on the foundation of the five solas of the Reformation: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), Sola Gratia (grace alone), Solus Christus (Christ alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (to the glory of God alone). These solas serve as key doctrinal pillars that shape our understanding of salvation, faith, and the Christian life.
High View of Sacraments
We maintain a high view of the sacraments, recognizing them as means of grace instituted by Christ. Baptism and the Lord's Supper are not mere symbols but are channels through which God communicates His grace to believers. We approach the sacraments with reverence, viewing them as sacred and significant acts that deepen our communion with God and express our identity as the body of Christ.
