THE TEACHING

Grace Gatineau is rooted in the theological traditions of the Reformation as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith. We strive to be true to the scriptures and rich in the doctrines of grace.

This church plant is overseen by its mother church, Resurrection Church in Ottawa, and Frank is a member of the Eastern Canada Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
