A Word From Our Pastor

A church rooted in the Word, faithful in worship.

For more than 130 years, Shearer Presbyterian Church has gathered every Lord's Day to worship the triune God, to hear His Word preached, and to be sent into the community as His people.

We hold to the historic Reformed faith, summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith. We believe Scripture is the final authority for what we believe and how we live.

About Shearer

An anchor in Mooresville since 1888.

Shearer Presbyterian Church held its first service in 1888. The first church building was completed in 1892. Over the last century, generations of the same families have walked through our doors, worshiped in our sanctuary, and been buried in our cemetery.

We are a Reformed, confessional church in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We hold to the Westminster Standards and the historic creeds of the Christian faith. Our worship is reverent, our preaching is biblical, and our mission is unchanged.

What We Believe

Rooted in Scripture. Shaped by the Reformed faith.

These are the core convictions that shape every sermon, prayer, and ministry at Shearer. Tap any belief to read what we hold and why.

1

The Holy Bible

We believe The Old and New Testaments are fully and verbally inspired by God, without error in the original writings, making the Holy Bible the supreme and absolute authority in all matters of faith and practice.
2

The True God

We believe there is one true God in three persons in the Godhead (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit); and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power, and glory. Together, God planned all, created all, and sustains all to His glory.
3

The Person of Christ

We believe in the eternal deity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who became flesh by conception of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary, and who alone lived a sinless life, conducting a miraculous ministry.
4

The Work of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins as our representative Mediator and substitutionary Sacrifice, thus purchasing our salvation. He rose physically from the dead, ascended to heaven to reign as Lord, Head and Intercessor, and that He shall return to earth as King of Kings and Judge of all.
5

Man and Sin

We believe that our original parents were created in the image of God, but through their disobedience, death spread to all humanity, so that all are now born with a sinful nature, from which comes all sinful acts. All of humanity is totally depraved, unable to save themselves, and justly deserving of God's wrath.
6

Salvation

We believe that salvation is provided by God's grace alone, and is offered freely to all who repent of their sins and receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord by faith. Such are justified by faith and receive forgiveness of sin and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
7

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the full deity of the Holy Spirit, who applies the work of Christ by bringing new birth and sanctification, and who gifts each for ministry as He wills.
8

The Christian Life

We believe that each Christian is called to a holy life, as the Holy Spirit empowers us to obey God's commandments. Such a life is constant in prayer and evidences itself in separation from worldly sins and in the practice of loving good works.
9

The Perseverance of the Saints

We believe that those who are born again will not utterly fall away into sin and perish, but will persevere in holiness unto the end, being kept by the power of God.
10

The Afterlife

We believe that the soul of the Christian goes to "be with Christ" at death, and at Christ's return, the body is resurrected. The unjust shall suffer everlasting conscious punishment, while the just shall enter into everlasting conscious blessedness of the new Heaven and Earth.
