About Us
Savior's Grace Church is a Reformed Baptist Church located in Akron, Michigan. Savior's Grace was planted by Pastor Kyle Roat and a small group of Christians in 2017. While most people are familiar with Baptist Churches of some type, few people have heard of a "Reformed" Baptist Church. So, below you will find some basic information about Reformed Baptist Churches. Please go to our "Resources" page to find more detailed information about Reformed Baptist Churches.
REFORMED
By calling ourselves “Reformed,” we identify with the teaching expressed in the confessions of the 16th and 17th century as a result of the Protestant Reformation. The key ideas of the Reformation were captured in five Latin slogans:
- SOLA SCRIPTURA – The scripture alone is our final authority in every area of life because it is the Word of God.
- SOLA CHRISTI – Christ’s perfect life and atoning death in the sinner’s place is the only basis for our acceptance with God.
- SOLA GRATIA – Sinners are saved by God’s grace alone.
- SOLA FIDE – Faith alone is the channel by which sinners receive God’s grace.
- SOLI DEO GLORIA – All glory for our salvation must go to God alone.
BAPTIST
By taking the name “Baptist,” we are stating our conviction that only professing believers should be baptized and become members of the local church. We are convinced of this because of the progression of the Bible from Old to New Testaments, the clear commands of Christ, and the example of the early church. Baptism is an outward visible sign that a believer is united to Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection.
