We believe the Bible to be the Word of God and the final authority for faith and practice. We believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of those who have faith in him. We believe in the historic Christian faith as confessed in the Apostles' Creed . The Heidelberg Catechism , a 16th century evangelical statement of faith. Our Local Churches Each of our congregations is unique, shaped by the needs of its people and its community.
Worship services range from highly formal to very informal.
In almost all, however you will find good preachings a strong program of Christian education, and sympathetic pastoral counseling. To belong to a Reformed Church is to be part of a warm and caring Christian family. Our Government Local churches are governed by elders and deacons who, together with the pastor, form the consistory. Regional governing, bodies are called classes and regional synods. The denomination includes seven regional synods and 44 classes.
