About Lynden URC

Our Formation: 

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 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, our Heavenly Father blessed us with a worship facility on Benson Road in June 2000.  Today we are blessed to have around 95 families who gather every Lord's Day to worship and glorify God through Word and Sacrament.

Our History:                                                                                                                                                                   Lynden United Reformed Church is a member church of the United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA). The URCNA is a federation of churches that came into existence in October 1996. While a young church, we trace our heritage from the apostles down through the great Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century.  Therefore, as a historic Christian and Reformed church, we believe that the Apostles'', Nicene , Athanasian, and Chalcedonian creeds summarize the biblical doctrines of the Holy Trinity and the two natures united in the one person of our Lord Jesus Christ.  As a Reformed and Protestant church, we affirm the 5 Solas of the Reformation, namely, that Scripture alone is our only infallible guide for faith and life, that we are saved from sin and eternal wrath by God's grace alone, because of the perfect righteousness of Christ alone, which is received not by our goodness, but through faith alone, and all of this for the glory of God alone.  To summarize the Reformation doctrines, we confess the "Three Forms of Unity," which are the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and Cannons of Dort.  We wholeheartedly believe that these creeds and confessions faithfully summarize "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3) Read more...
