TFPC is a community of faith rooted in the Reformed tradition, committed to glorifying God, proclaiming the gospel, and nurturing discipleship. Our beliefs are centred on the authority of Scripture, the grace of God revealed in Jesus Christ, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Below, we outline the core tenets that guide our faith, worship, and mission.
God
We believe in one true and eternal Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three in one, equal in power and glory. God is the Creator of all things, and the universe testifies to God’s majesty. God entered into a covenant with Israel, through whom Jesus Christ, the Son of God, established a new covenant of salvation through faith. God continues to be present through the Holy Spirit, guiding the Church and sustaining us in faith.
The Bible
We believe the Bible, divinely inspired, is the authoritative rule for faith and life. It is sufficient and reliable in revealing Jesus Christ as the living Word and is the standard by which all teachings and practices are measured. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we strive to faithfully live out the Word in life.
Worship
We live to worship God, which is our highest calling. Through the faithful preaching of the Word, celebrating the sacraments, petitioning in prayer, instructing in sound doctrine, and fellowshipping in spirit and in truth, our faith and lives are sustained by the grace of God. Worship unites us with Christ, who intercedes for the world, and inspires us to serve with joy and gratitude.
Baptism
We celebrate Baptism as a sign of our union with Christ and the Church. Through Baptism, we acknowledge the washing away of sin, new life in Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Baptism is a sign of God’s grace for people of all ages, including children, who are all included in God’s covenant family, calling us to lifelong discipleship and nurturing of faith.
Holy Communion
We gather at the table to celebrate the Holy Communion, instituted by Christ, to remember his life, death, and resurrection. In the bread and wine, which symbolise his body and blood, Christ nourishes us, deepens our unity with him and one another, and proclaims his atoning sacrifice. Holy Communion is a joyful mystery that strengthens our faith, renews our commitment, and points us to the hope in Christ’s return.
Creeds and Standards
We affirm the early Christian creeds, including the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds, which summarise our faith in God and the Christian life. We also adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith and Living Faith (Foi Vivante) as our subordinate standards, along with other creeds that guide our beliefs and practices. These confessions and statements help us to stay true to the teachings of the Word and our covenant with God.
These beliefs reflect our commitment to faithfully following Jesus Christ, living out the gospel in our worship, community, and service. Grounded in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to glorify God in all we do, sharing God’s love and hope in the world. We invite you to join us on this journey of faith and discipleship.

TFPC 源於基督教改革宗傳統的信仰。我們致力於榮耀上帝、傳揚福音、培養門徒生活。我們的信仰中心是聖經的權威,上帝透過耶穌基督所啟示的恩典,以及聖靈在教會和世界中持續的工作。以下是我們信仰、敬拜和使命的核心教義。
上帝
我們堅信唯一真實且永恆的三一上帝—聖父、聖子與聖靈,三位在權能與榮耀上是平等的。上帝是萬物的創造者,宇宙萬有都見證了祂的威嚴。上帝與以色列立下約定,並透過耶穌基督—上帝的兒子—建立了藉著信心得救的新約。上帝透過聖靈持續與我們同在,引導教會並扶持我們的信仰。
聖經
我們堅信聖經是上帝所啟示的,是信仰與生活的最高權威。聖經確實的啓示耶穌基督是真道,也是所有教義與信仰實踐的標準。通過聖靈的引導,我們將聖經的教導應用於生活中所面對的挑戰。
敬拜
敬拜上帝是我們生命中最重要的呼召。透過忠實地宣講聖言、參與聖禮、禱告、教導整全的教義,在心靈與誠實中建立團契,我們的信仰和生命在上帝恩典的扶持中茁壯。敬拜使我們與基督連結,祂為這個世界代求,並激勵我們以喜樂和感恩的心來服事祂。
洗禮
我們慶祝洗禮,這是我們與基督及教會合一的象徵。透過洗禮,我們承認罪得赦免、在基督裡獲得新生命、以及領受聖靈的恩賜。洗禮是上帝恩典的記號,適用於所有年齡層的人,包括兒童,他們同樣被納入上帝的聖約中。洗禮呼召我們用生命活出基督門徒的樣式,培養信心。
聖餐
聖餐是基督所設立,我們同聚主桌慶祝聖餐,紀念基督的生命、死亡與復活。餅和杯象徵著基督的身體和寶血,領受聖餐使我們的靈命得到餵養,更宣告基督的贖罪犧牲,讓我們藉此與基督和教會合一。聖餐是一個神聖且喜樂的奧秘,它堅固我們的信心,更新我們對信仰的使命,並宣告基督再臨的盼望。
信經與規範
我們承認基督教的《尼西亞信經》和《使徒信經》,這些信經總結了基督徒生活的信仰。我們同時遵循《威斯敏斯特信條》和《活潑的信仰》(Living Faith, Foi Vivante)作為我們的次要標準,並參考其他歷史上的信條,這些信條指引著我們的信仰與實踐,幫助我們忠於教會的教導,以及我們與上帝所立的約。
信經反映出我們忠實跟隨耶穌基督的承諾,幫助我們在敬拜、教會和服事中活出福音。釘根於聖經的教導和跟隨聖靈的引導,我們追求在一切事上榮耀上帝,並與世界分享上帝的愛與盼望。誠摯邀請您與我們一同踏上這段信仰與門徒的旅程。
