“The name Amoskeag was chosen because of its unique regional character. It is believed that the Indian word “Amoskeag” (Probably originally Namoskeag) means “one takes small fish.” Jesus said to his disciples, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). It is our intention to build on the heritage of our forefathers by spreading the same gospel to a fallen and lost world. Just as the early settlers caught fish at the Amoskeag Falls, so from its inception the desire of Amoskeag Presbyterian Church is to catch people for Christ in order that they may be saved from sin and eternal death, and be nourished on His life-giving Word. It is a cause with eternal consequences.” (Heritage: A History of Amoskeag Presbyterian Church)
We believe the Bible consisting of the Old and New Testaments is the inerrant and infallible Word of the Triune God, our only rule of faith and practice. Our beliefs, lives, and worship are regulated by the Word of God alone. The message of the Bible is that God has provided salvation for men, women, and children in the person and work of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, through his perfect life, sin-atoning death, and resurrection has provided reconciliation with God. We believe the truths of the Bible are best summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith, Westminster Larger Catechism, and Westminster Shorter Catechism.
We are committed to bringing glory to God through the witness of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Through His embassy, the Church, He invites sinners to enjoy a complete salvation from sin and death through His historic death and resurrection. We invite those from every background to explore the riches of His Word the Bible with us. We welcome all who wish to investigate the claims of Christianity.
