Who We Are
Church of the Saviour is a people who profess Jesus Christ as Lord. We seek to be the very presence of Jesus in our community and in the world. We are a people who recognize God's great grace in our lives and offer that grace to those around us. Come and experience the joy of life in Christ with us.
Church of the Saviour is part of a group of churches (denomination) called the Reformed Church in America (RCA). The RCA has congregations located throughout North America with mission work around the globe.
The name "Reformed" has two implications. The first is that we are a Protestant church, having come out of the protestant reformation. The second implication is that we are, "Reformed and reforming according to God's Word."
More information on the RCA is available at www.rca.org.
