The CRC call themselves

  • Christian because they belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. They 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 them to be a fellowship of his people in the world.

They often call themselves "the CRC" for short.

Their emblem

The CRC emblem is the cross in a triangle. The triangle represents the Trinity, their belief in one God as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The cross symbolizes their belief in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death for salvation.
