About Us
At Solus Pres, we believe that every Christian should be able to enjoy two wonderful realities of the gospel—the enjoyment of God through worship, and the growth in their care for one another. We believe both of these are possible only through Christ, and through Christ alone (Solus Christus).

OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to enjoy God
and to please him by glorifying him.
(Psalm 16:11, 1 Corinthians 10:31)
OUR VISION
Our vision is to glorify God by enjoying him through worship
and growing in our imitation of his love for his people and the world.
(John 4:23, John 13:34)
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to gather, equip, and deploy compassionate and mature
worshipers of Jesus Christ, for the sake of church, family, and city.
(John 13:35, Matthew 28:19-20)
OUR PRACTICE
Our practice is mainly twofold—
to respond to God's call to worship, and to respond to God's people with care.
(Hebrews 10:23-25)
CORE VALUES
PREACHING & TEACHING FAITHFUL TO THE SCRIPTURES
We are committed to preaching and teaching God’s Word faithfully and accurately, trusting that Scripture is divinely inspired and sufficient to counsel in every season of life.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
BIBLICAL COUNSELING ROOTED IN SCRIPTURE & COMMON GRACE
Biblical counseling recognizes Scripture's sufficiency and God's gift of common grace. Its distinctive is defining "human flourishing" and "holistic care" always in view of Christ's redemption and our growth towards Christlikeness.
(Psalm 19)
COMMUNITY BUILT UPON HOSPITALITY & GENEROSITY
We aim to build a community of word and prayer that is housed in Christlike hospitality and generosity, welcoming of both believers and seekers.
(Acts 2:42-47)
DISCIPLESHIP FOR THE SAKE OF THE GREAT COMMISSION
We are committed to discipleship
—to equip believers to imitate the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ, in both their speech and their way of life.
(Matthew 28:18-20, Isaiah 9:6)
SERVING OUT OF OUR JOY AND REST IN CHRIST
We believe that our service to God and to one another must flow out of our joy and rest in Christ, with our priority always set on the finished work of Christ, not our own performance.
(Matthew 11:28)
OUR DENOMINATION
Solus Pres is part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a denomination formed in 1973 that seeks to be “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.”
​​
Rooted in the rich traditions of the Protestant Reformation, the PCA emphasizes God's sovereign grace and mercy, as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
As a church plant, Solus Pres is currently under the care of a "Temporary Session," which is comprised of our lead pastor and elders from our presbytery. This ensures that we are guided with wisdom and accountability as we grow. Solus Pres is part of the Korean Southeastern Presbytery.
