About Us
The First Reformed Church was founded by the earliest residents of Nyack. While we honor that history and the faith of our forbears, we now embrace a future of growth and change, embodying a vision of divine love without limit, and peace and well-being for all people. Come share that vision and journey with us!
Our mission is to connect with God, to grow in Christ, and to serve others.
We believe:
Our mission is to connect with God, to grow in Christ, and to serve others.
We believe:
- in God's generous grace and overwhelming love.
- the way of Jesus guides our spiritual journey.
- the Bible tells the story of the relationship between God and God’s people, in which God is progressively made known to us.
- the Holy Spirit gives us understanding of the scriptures, brings us into a living relationship with God, and inspires us to works of love and kindness,
- in two Sacraments: Baptism and Communion. We baptize infants, children, and adult new members who desire to be more connected with the life of the church. We celebrate open communion. All who desire to be more intentionally connected with God and the community of faith are welcome at Christ’s Table.
- serving others and loving our neighbor—no exceptions—is essential to the spiritual life.
- God loves you, no matter who you are or how you understand yourself, and we celebrate you as a child of God!
