We are part of the Reformed Church in America, which is the
longest continuously running denomination in America. The
word Reformed comes from the Protestant Reformation that swept
across Europe in the 1500s under the leadership of such men as
Martin Luther and John Calvin. Calvin’s reformation at
Geneva spread to many countries, including Scotland (where it
became the Presbyterian Church) and the Netherlands (where it
became our ancestor, the Dutch Reformed Church).
We are a
strong, Christ-centered, Biblically-based, mission-minded
Church. We are active in the community with the knowledge
that we are called to “let your light so shine before men that
they may glorify your Father in Heaven.” We also stand on
the belief that a Christian’s life is his biggest testimony to
the world.
We are a
healthy mixture of lifelong members and new members, seniors and
youth, all of whom are valued equally, and encouraged to serve
in the Christian family. We have many monthly and annual
events which encourage fellowship and service. *PLEASE SEE THE
CALENDAR PAGE TO VIEW EVENTS.
Our services
are a mixture of traditional and contemporary. The pew Bibles
are the New International Version, with a strong history of King
James. We use both the traditional hymnal (Hymns for the
Family of God) and a contemporary songbook (Sing! A New
Creation). Our music leader plays the organ and piano. We
have a choir and often, special guest music. During the
Church service, a brief children’s sermon is given, where the
children are invited to the front of the Church to participate.
Half way through the morning service, children (5th grade and
under) are invited downstairs to participate in a Jr. Church
service which helps to involve the youth in an age-appropriate
curriculum.
Sunday School
is available and encouraged for all ages with the knowledge that
if the parents are in Sunday School, so the children will be as
well.
We are here
to serve God, and in that, our fellow man, our brothers and
sisters. If you are in need of any assistance or have any
questions at all, please contact the Church at 1 (315) 597-4341,
Please leave a message and your call will be promptly returned.
“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE.” John 3:16
