About the Christian Reformed Church
The Christian Reformed Church is a denomination that has about 300,000 members in 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada.
Where to find the CRC
Their congregations can be found in cities and towns from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, from California to New Jersey. They have central offices in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and in Burlington, Ontario. They broadcast in radio and television from our studios in the Chicago area and our programs of Christian outreach, relief and development circle the globe.
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.For more information see the Related Link "Christian Reformed Church of North America" to the right.
