What's "The Reformed Church" anyway?
 When
you first hear of our name "The Reformed Church", you may wonder, "Reformed from
what? "We belong to a denomination called
The Reformed Church in America.
We trace our heritage to the Reformation of the sixteenth century, when people
like Martin Luther and John Calvin fought to keep the biblical faith pure.
We were known earlier as the Dutch Reformed Church and are the oldest
evangelical church in North America with a continuous ministry. While
Dutch in origin, the Reformed Church in America today includes North America's
ethnic and racial diversity in our 950 congregations in the United States and
Canada.
Reformed Church in America's Mission Statement
declares:
The Reformed Church in America is a fellowship of
congregations called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be the very
presence of Jesus Christ in the world.
Our shared task is to equip congregations for
ministry - a thousand churches in a million ways doing one thing - following
Christ in mission, in a lost and broken world so loved by God.
