CRC means...
The Christian Reformed Church is a denomination that has about 300,000 members in 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada.
We call ourselves Christian because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. We 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 us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
We often call ourselves "the CRC" for short.
Biblical
Standard
The
beliefs and doctrine of the Christian Reformed Church are based on the
Holy Bible, God's infallible written Word contained in the 66 books
of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters
on which it speaks.
