We are a church committed to worship and teaching based on the Bible.  We are part of the Christian Reformed denomination ...

  • Christian because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be His followers. We recognize as fellow-Christians all people who accept the teachings of the Bible as summarized in the Apostles’ Creed.
  • Reformed because we're part of that historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of 16th-century reformer John Calvin, who struggled to return Christianity to its Biblical roots.
  • Church because God has called us to be a fellowship of His people in the world.
