Welcome to First Reformed church
We have been proclaiming and living out the Good News of Jesus Christ in South Holland for the past 175 years. It is from these deep gospel roots that we look forward to connecting with you and growing together in the grace of Christ.
As you turn off of South Park Avenue and head towards the church, we hope that you'll feel like you're coming home. You might be greeted with a friendly hug or a handshake. You'll hear the church organ warming up the choir and an acoustic guitar strumming along with the music team. You'll see many little children racing between the legs of our grandmas and grandpas as they enjoy conversations together in the narthex. And you'll see people dressed in their Sunday best--whether it's their best pair of blue jeans or their favorite three-piece suit.
As you enter our beautiful sanctuary for worship, feel free to grab a worship bulletin. Here you'll find that we believe in "life in the liturgy" so you will see 2,000 year-old words printed alongside of new worship songs and hear Spirit-prompted "amens" alongside of the words of the Lord's Prayer. And we believe in "liturgy after the liturgy," so after we worship together for an hour we'll head downstairs to gather around homemade cookies and cups of hot coffee as we continue growing together in the grace of Christ.
