We are Christian. To be Christian is to acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is our Savior from sin and the Lord of our lives.
We are Reformed. About 400 years ago Protestant reformers
reclaimed basic Biblical doctrines such as (1) the Bible as
supreme authority in the faith and practice of the church,
and (2) salvation by grace alone, through faith. To be reformed
is to accept the basic principles of the Protestant Reformation
as foundational to the church's faith and life. We are part
of the Church, the body of all true believers gathered out
of the whole human race. We believe that we are part of the
holy, universal Church which God is gathering through the
power of the Holy Spirit. For a more complete understanding
of the teachings of the Christian Reformed Church, please
review the Heidelberg
Catechism and the Contemporary
Testimony, both of which are on the denominational Web
Site for the Christian Reformed Church. In addition, you will
find the three creeds of the Christian Reformed Church which
are the Apostles'
Creed, the Nicene
Creed, and the Athanasian
Creed. |
