The Christian Reformed faith
As a Christian Reformed Church we believe in the historic Christian message taught throughout the Bible and confessed throughout history using the following Christian Creeds:
The Apostles' Creed
The Nicene Creed
The Athanasian Creed
The Christian Reformed Church traces its roots back to the protestant reformation movements led by Martin Luther and, later, John Calvin. Confessions of faith were written to articulate the faith of the protestants. In our tradition, there are three primary confessions that are accepted by many in the 'reformed branch' of the Christian family tree:
Heidleberg Catechism
The Belgic Confession
The Canons of Dort
The Denominational Structure
Congregations (our local church):
Trinity is governed by an elected council of Elders and Deacons. The Pastor serves alongside the Council and together they provide leadership and oversee ministries of Trinity for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom of God.
Classis:
This is a regional gathering of churches that work together in ministry and for support. Trinity belongs to Classis Huron.
Synod:
Synod is a yearly gather of church representatives, delegated from each Classis, to oversee the denominational ministries and maintain the vision and direction of denomination.
