Who We Are
University Reformed Church is a Christ-centered, Bible based, mission minded, burden-bearing, mercy-ministering, pilgrim people who are passionately and prayerfully committed to making much of God in all of life.
In other words, we want Jesus to be supreme in all we do, and the Bible to be the foundation for all we believe. We want to reach out to the world in mission and reach in to our church with care and compassion. Above all and through all and in all we are passionate and prayerful about glorifying God and enjoying him forever.
We are a church - a body of imperfect but saved sinners, making every effort in the power of the Holy Spirit to be the people God has called us to be.
