The Christian Reformed Church of North America

Our Denomination

Ladner CRC is part of the denomination called The Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA).

  • Christian because we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are sinners saved by God’s grace, and we try to obey Jesus in all of life.

  • Reformed because the Bible has shaped our teachings and our lifestyle in every generation since the Protestant Reformation.

  • Church because God’s Spirit gathers us together and enables us to commit ourselves to each other for support and service in this community and beyond.

We are one of nearly 1,000 Christian Reformed churches — large and small — scattered across Canada and the United States. With almost 184,000 members, our fellowship of churches is nearly 150 years old. About 75 percent of the churches are in the United States, 25 percent are in Canada.

Classis BC-South East

A classis is a group of churches within a geographical area that comes together to seek, discern, and submit to God’s will, offer one another mutual support and accountability, find ways to live out a collective calling in the region, and allow for a healthy and sustained connection to the wider denomination.

We belong to Classis British Columbia South-East, a group of 25 Christian Reformed Churches from Ladner to Williams Lake. See https://classisbcse.ca/about-us/ for more information.

Our Vision

The Christian Reformed Church is a diverse family of healthy congregations, assemblies, and ministries expressing the good news of God’s kingdom that transforms lives and communities worldwide.
