What we Believe

We are a congregation of the

Presbyterian Church
in America

Our beliefs are most fully articulated in the Westminster Standards, which you can find here. In general, though, our beliefs can be summarized as follows:

We believe the Bible.

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, and it teaches us what we should believe and how we should live as God’s people.

We believe that God is big, and we are small.

We believe that God is the Creator, Preserver, Sustainer, and Redeemer of the world. He is sovereign over everything, and he is working all things for his glory.

We believe that God acts the same in the Old and New Testaments.

We believe that the Bible is one big story of God filling the earth with his glory. Central to his plan is gathering a people who bear witness to his goodness and glory in the world. He relates to these people through a covenant. This covenant always includes God’s people, those who have put their faith in him and follow him in obedience, and their children.

We believe that Jesus is the Gospel.

We believe that all of the blessings of the Gospel come to us “in Christ.” We bring nothing, Jesus does everything, and then God delights over us as beloved children. For believers and unbelievers alike, Jesus is our chief need and hope.

Pastoral Leadership

Rev. Dan Warne

Pastor

Dan received pastoral training at Westminster Seminary California. Before coming to Heritage, he served as a pastor in California and hosted a Spanish Christian radio broadcast airing in Cuba and around the world.

Dan grew up on the mission field in Sinaloa, Mexico, where he met his wife, Mariana. They married in 2011 and have two girls. Dan enjoys fishing and serving up tacos from the grill for family and friends.

One of Dan’s greatest passions is showing people how the whole Bible is all about Jesus, and how the whole of the Christian life is walking by faith in Jesus, who really meant it when he said “It is finished.”

Heritage meets weekly for worship at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays. Sunday School for all ages begins around 11:30 a.m. All meetings are at our church facility, which is located at 7850 Millfield Drive, Warrenton, VA 20187.

We have no dress code, written or unwritten, at Heritage. Many folks wear jeans. Some men wear dress pants and blazers, and some women wear dresses. Please wear wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Our worship service is meant to tell the story of the Gospel to us each week. Each week, God calls us to worship him from his Word, we sing his praises, and we pray to him. We also confess our sins and hear God assure us of his forgiveness in Christ. We give our tithes and offerings in response to his grace, and we hear his Word, which teaches us what to believe and how we should live as God’s people. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper weekly, and God sends us out each week with his blessing.
At Heritage, we sing a blend of old and new songs. Older songs help us remember that we are part of a long story, and many Christians have preceded us. Newer songs remind us that God is still at work and teaching us what it means to worship him. We strive to sing songs that are theologically faithful, congregationally singable, culturally accessible, and emotionally honest.
Heritage welcomes all baptized believers who are members of churches that preach the Gospel to receive the Lord’s Supper with us.
At Heritage, we take the Bible very seriously. Sermons are meant to help us understand who we are and who Jesus is more fully. Each week, we learn to connect our daily lives to the Gospel. Sermons last around 25 minutes.

If you are interested in becoming a member at Heritage, we welcome you attend one of our Discover Heritage classes, which are offered a few times each year. For more information, please contact the Church Secretary.
