The Five Solas

A Summary of Historic Protestant Principles

What kind of church name is that?

“Five Solas” is a phrase that every protestant should recognize, but we realize that most modern churches no longer teach their people about the historical roots and fundamental principles of protestantism.

To the right, you will see each of the “solas” stated and briefly defined. Below are several other resources.

Also, please feel free to contact our Pastor. He would be more than happy to discuss these matters with you.
