Our denomination
\nFrom the CRCNA website:<\/p>\n
The Christian Reformed Church (CRC) includes just over one thousand congregations across the United States and Canada. About 75 percent of the churches are in the United States; 25 percent are in Canada. We\u2019re one of only a few binational denominations: rather than split into different churches at the 49th parallel, we\u2019re united. Almost 300,000 people belong to the CRCNA\u2014not a large number when you consider the population of our two countries. But by God\u2019s grace we can accomplish a lot when we work together.<\/p>\n
We call ourselves the Christian Reformed Church in North America. What does that mean?<\/p>\n
We call ourselves Christian because we are followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus was the Son of God and that he is the center of human history.
\nWe\u2019re called Reformed because we grow on a branch of the church tree that emerged from the Protestant Reformation in sixteenth-century Europe.
\nWe\u2019re a Church because we believe God has called us together to be a people who belong to him and live for him.
\nNorth America tells you where we are situated; but it also tells you we\u2019re connected with other Reformed denominations in other places around the globe.
\nOur emblem is the cross in a triangle. The triangle represents the Trinity, our belief in the one God we know as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The cross symbolizes our belief in Jesus Christ\u2019s sacrificial death for our salvation.<\/p>\n
