What We Believe:
We believe and teach?
- God the Father as our Creator, Jesus Christ the Son of God as our Saviour and Lord, the Holy Spirit as the Third Person of the Eternal God, who renews our hearts and makes us children of God.
- that the problem of the human race is sin-sin in all of us-sin makes it impossible for us to create a sure hope for ourselves. 1 John 1-8
- that Jesus Christ is the only Saviour from sin which we find personal salvation through faith in Him, so that in Him we find peace and comfort in this life, and sure hope for the life to come. John 20: 31
- that we are called to live a life of obedience and service to our Lord in a spirit of thankfulness for our deliverance from sin and misery and that real happiness is to be found in such a life, and in such a life only. Romans 14:17
What Kind Of Church Are We?
We are the Wyoming Christian Reformed Church. Standing on the infallible Word of God, in the tradition of the Reformed faith as it's expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort, we boldly proclaim and celebrate the coming of God's kingdom in Jesus Christ. By the strength of His Spirit we gather and enfold newcomers into His covenant of grace. We teach and equip believers and their baptized children for obedient, loving service in all areas of life to the praise of our heavenly Father.
We are a church whose goal it is to proclaim the Good news that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. We accept the Bible as God's inspired and inerrant Word and as His will for our lives.
We are affiliated with the Christian Reformed denomination. As a confessing church we hold to the historic creeds of the Christian Church.
As heirs of the Protestant Reformation we believe in salvation by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8
Christian: Identifies us as people who believe that God has provided us with the way of salvation through His Son Jesus who is the Christ. As Christians, we are committed to sharing God's love in Jesus Christ with our neighbours.
Reformed: Refers to that branch of the Church growing out of the Protestant Reformation which emphasizes the Lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of life. Guided by the Bible, God's Word, we believe Christians are called by God to a life of service in home and community.
Church: Means that we are part of the total body of Christ which God through His Word and Spirit has called out from people of every nation and race.
Identification Statement of the Wyoming CRC
Regarding Worship: Amidst the wide range of worship practices in our culture today, we maintain that worship is a meeting between God and His people in which God is praised and His people are blessed. Worship must center around the preaching of the word the primary means of grace. We deem it a blessing to assemble twice on the Lord's Day to praise His name. Worship is our highest calling and joy
Regarding Moral and Ethical Living: the Bible is our guide for life. It addresses the sanctity of life (Ex 20:13), the roles of men and women in the church and home (1 Tim 2:11-15; Eph 5:22-23), the proper attitude toward material possessions (1 Tim 6:3-10).
In short, the Bible addresses every aspect of our lives. In our world ravaged by moral relativism, we affirm that all the principles for Christian living revealed in the Bible and summarized in the ten commandments, remain normative for our lives today. The church's task is to proclaim these principles and to call sinners to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. With love and compassion we practice church discipline and encourage penitent believers in their continual battle against the kingdom of darkness.
To strengthen our identity in Christ, we seek contact and fellowship with churches of like mind.
