On January 19, 1997,
nineteen households with
the vision of
cultivating a
Christ-centered,
Gospel-preaching,
confessionally-Reformed
witness, met for an
inaugural worship
service in the Ebenezer
Christian School
gymnasium. On
March 21, 1997, the
United Reformed Church
of Lynden was officially
organized and
accountable to the
Federation of the United
Reformed Churches in
North America. In the
few years that followed
our membership outgrew
the available rental
facilities, and, again,
the Lord blessed us with a
worship facility on
Benson Road in June
2000. Today we have over 100 families who gather
every Lord's Day to
worship and glorify God
through Word and
Sacrament.

Word and Sacrament as
Means of Grace:
We
believe that Jesus
Christ has appointed
special means of grace
to nourish and
strengthen the faith of
his body, the church.
We live in a day,
however, of pluralism,
pragmatism, and an
"anything goes" approach
to the ministry of
Christ's church.
This man-centered
approach has left many
churches fragmented, and
spiritually
mal-nourished for their
greatest need, Jesus
Christ. We believe
through the pure
preaching of the gospel
and the right
administration of the
sacraments, God chooses
to bless, nourish, and
strengthen his church as
she fulfills Christ's
mandate of
being a witness to all
the nations.

The Centrality of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ
and the Urgency of the
Call:
The Apostle Paul said,
"For I determined not to
know anything among you
except Jesus Christ and
Him crucified. (1 Cor.
2:2)" We believe that
Christ should be
preached from all of
Scripture, and that
every sermon should
direct us to his person
and work on the cross to
save sinners.
Moralism is a dangerous
trend in our day that
emphasizes earthly gain
and earthly happiness at
the expense of
proclaiming Jesus
Christ's life, death,
and resurrection. We
believe in a
proclamation that
includes both law and
gospel. Law
exposes our sin and
misery, and gospel shows
us the way of salvation
from our sin and misery
through the person and
work of Jesus Christ.
We believe all men
should be called to
repent and confess their
sin, and flee to Jesus
Christ in true faith to
receive forgiveness of
sins and cleansing
through his blood.
