Our Beliefs
Although Cruciform Press is explicitly Reformed in its theology, we are “essentially Reformed” in the sense that we are not focused on any particular denomination or movement. This means we have a solid grounding in the core theological tenets of the Reformation: the doctrines of God, of Man, of Scripture, of sin, of salvation, and of the role of the Church. We are Reformed in the same way that Together for the Gospel and The Gospel Coalition are Reformed. Like these umbrella organizations, we seek to engage with diverse expressions of Reformed Christianity around that which truly lies at the heart of the Christian faith: the gospel of Jesus Christ.
