Christian Reformed Background

The Christian Reformed Church is a denomination that has about 250,000 members in 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada.

We call ourselves:
Christian because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. We recognize as fellow-Christians all people who accept the teachings of the Bible as summarized in the Apostle’s Creed.

Reformed because we’re part of that historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of 16th-century reformer John Calvin, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots.

Church because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.

We often call ourselves “the CRC” for short.
