"Freeing Captives Through Union With Christ" Welcome to our website! The members and friends of Grace Reformed Church strive to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our soul, and with all our strength. We also seek to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. It is our hope that this church can be "a hospital for sinners" and not "an incubator for perfectionists" Our highest objective is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Here at Grace Reformed Church, we are "Historically Reformed, Refreshingly Evangelical!" Grace Reformed Church is proud to be affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is a conservative, evangelical denomination. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God: holy, inerrant and infallible. Our form of church government is Presbyterian; in other words, led by a group of elders called a Session. Each of the elders on the Session are elected by the members of the congregation (based upon requirements for leadership given in 1 Timothy 3, 5, & Titus 1), to lead the church. The pastor is a teaching elder, while laymen in the church who are elected by church members are called ruling elders. The combination of teaching elders and ruling elders make up the Session of the local church. The Session is responsible for the spiritual vision and direction of the church, and has the final say on all matters of church administration. Deacons are also elected by church members, (based upon 1 Timothy 3 & Acts 6), and are responsible for the physical needs of the church. A majority of their duties involve dispensing mercy, collecting money, & overseeing maintenance of the church building/grounds. Grace Reformed Church has been part of the PCA since it began as Trinity Presbyterian Church on June 29th, 1980. For more information on the PCA, visit the official PCA website.
