COMMUNITY REFORMED CHURCH
"Devoted to Christ, committed to each other"

ABOUT US


    Community Reformed Church is just what it's name says.  We are a Christian Congregation that is a part of the Reformed Church in America and is about community.  We care about community on several levels.  We care about the community we live in and try to show the love of Jesus to them.  We care about the community in our family of faith.  And we care about the community we share with the divine in our relationships with God.
    From our inception this is how we've understood ourselves, "As the name implies, the Community Reformed Church seeks to be a true community institution built for the community, aimed at its spiritual growth and welfare, and dedicated to the service of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  We invited the people of the community to join together in forming a Christian fellowship that will
provide experiences in worship, witness, education and service. 
Together we can bring the Word of God into our lives and into the lives of those within our homes and neighborhood.  Together we can build a sense of community that will encourage us in neighborliness, helpfulness, and loyalty.  Together we can work toward giving our children the kind of church and home training that will build Christian character and foster Christian ideals."  These words were written for the service of dedication held on March 4th, 1958 before we were even an organized church and they continue to communicate much of our identity and hope for our presence in this community and this world. 
These values come through in our purpose and mission.

OUR PURPOSE
"To be a community of believers who give themselves to Christ
and each other for the sake of those he came to save."

OUR MISSION
"To reach out in love to any who have lost their way in this life,
helping them to find in Christ a secure foundation on which to build their lives."

OUR BELIEFS
At the core of our life together are our core beliefs about God and about faith.  The tradition of Christianity that we embrace is generally reformed and particularly associated with the Reformed Church in America.  The content of our faith is expressed most succinctly in the ancient words of the Apostles' Creed.


THE APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. 
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.
