Puritan Evangelical Church of America

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

PURITAN - The name 'Puritan' is borrowed from the nickname given to those in 17th centuryEngland, who sought to purify the visible church from that which was contrary to the Holy Scriptures. The Puritans gave us as a heritage the King James Version of the Bible.

EVANGELICAL - We are a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. We hold to all of its fundamental truths. For example we believe that the sinner must be born again.

CHURCH OF AMERICA - Our church, while rooted in the Puritanism of 17th century England, is actually an American church. It was started here in the United States of America in 1972. It is not some imported cult, but springs out of the mainstream of historical, Protestant, evangelical Christianity.
