After Darkness, Light: Reformation Through Biblical Worldview Thinking

About Providence Church: Overview

Welcome | Overview | Beginnings | Distinctives

Providence Community Church is a fellowship of believers whose purpose is to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things by proclaiming Christ, faithfully teaching and living out the foundational principle that Christ is all in all. Our mission can be summed up in the Latin phrase "Omnia et in omnibus Christus": Christ all and in all.

Providence is committed to the historic Christian faith that was preached by the Apostles, taught by the Church Fathers, recovered by the Protestant Reformation, and expressed in historic Evangelical orthodoxy. We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives as it is preached with biblical faithfulness and clarity. Providence is utterly committed to the inerrancy, authority, and sufficiency of Scripture as the Word of God.

The gospel can be summarized by five Latin phrases that emerged from the Protestant Reformation as slogans identifying the truth of salvation:

  • Sola Scriptura: Scripture is our sole authority for what we are to believe and how we are to live
  • Sola Fide: Salvation from sin is through faith alone in Christ Jesus
  • Sola Gratia: Salvation is by grace alone and not by human merit
  • Solus Christus: Salvation is found only in Christ's atoning work on the cross
  • Soli Deo Gloria: We are to give glory to God alone by recognizing that all things are of Him and through Him and to Him.

Currently Providence Community Church meets for worship on the Lord's Day at the University Parkway SDA Church in Pensacola, Florida.
