At First Reformed Church we are rooted in the strong heritage of the Reformed faith. We recognize that Christ desires for His church to live in unity, not division, and so our core beliefs are most succinctly summed up in the words of the historic Apostles' Creed. We believe and profess this creed which says:
'I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he shall 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.'
We are also a part of a larger church family called the Reformed Church in America. This association of churches is the oldest protestant denomination in the country. For more information about this network, its heritage, and its beliefs, click here.
