What is a Reformed church?
It's a Protestant church that holds to what the Reformers recovered in the 1500s: we're saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, and Scripture has the final word over every tradition. Reformed churches also put weight on God's covenant with His people, which is why we baptize children and why our worship follows a covenant renewal pattern. Our own statement of faith is the Reformed Evangelical Confession.
What can I expect at a service?
Expect to sing. A lot, and in harmony. We confess the Apostles' Creed together, read Scripture from the New King James Version, hear a sermon that usually works through a passage verse by verse, and take the Lord's Supper. The tone is reverent but not stiff. Afterward everyone eats together.
What is worship like at Church of the King?
Our liturgy moves in five steps. God calls us to worship. We confess our sins and hear that they're forgiven in Christ. The Word is read and preached. We come to the Lord's Table. Then the minister pronounces God's blessing and sends us back into the week.
How often do you take the Lord's Supper?
Every Sunday. If you've been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and aren't under church discipline, you're welcome at the Table.
Do you baptize infants?
Yes. Children of believing parents belong to God's covenant, so we baptize them. At the font, parents promise to raise the child in the faith and the whole congregation promises to help. Adults who come to faith are baptized on their confession of Christ.
What is the CREC?
The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. It's the denomination we belong to, with congregations across the U.S. and Canada and in places like Japan and Ukraine. Every CREC church confesses the ancient creeds, from the Apostles' Creed through the Definition of Chalcedon in 451, and adopts at least one Reformed confession. We're part of the Anselm Presbytery.
What are your beliefs?
The Bible is God's Word, without error, and it governs what we believe and how we live. We worship one God in three persons. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; He died for sinners, rose on the third day, and will come back to judge the world. The full statement is on our Confession page.
