Our Core Beliefs:

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority for faith in practice (II Tim.3:16-17).
• There is one God:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit who created, loves and cares for all (Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 14:26).
• All humanity is created in the image of God, but sin brought separation from Him. All who receive salvation by faith in Jesus become forgiven children of God to live in Jesus now and forever in heaven (John 3:16; Romans 3:23-24, 6:23, 10:9-11).
• Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin, and by God's grace offers salvation to all who believe in Him, seek forgiveness, and live under His Lordship (Acts 16:30-31; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:3-7). 
• The Holy Spirit dwells in believers to transform them into the likeness of Christ (Acts 1:8).
• The Church, believers everywhere in the world, is the Body of Christ, called to bring the love and salvation of Jesus to the world (Hebrews 10:23-25; John 3:16).

Our denomination, the Reformed Church in America, is the oldest continuous Protestant denomination in America. Dutch settlers arrived in America in 1620 and settled what is now known as New York City. In those days we were known as the "Dutch Reformed Church."

We are part of the "Reformed" family. We have the name "Reformed" because our history goes back to the Reformation in the early 1500's, as do our belief statements. Our congregation is also part of the Dakota Classis, the local collection of RCA churches, and the Synod of the Hearthland, the region of RCA churches which covers the center of the US from North Dakota to Oklahoma.
