Welcome to NRC's Website
We are glad you found it and hope you will be encouraged to take a closer look. Whether you're looking for a church home or a place to worship where the Word of God is heartily believed and boldly proclaimed, we want you to know that we would like nothing more than to be of service to you and your family. As a congregation we are trying to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ( II Peter 3:17,18). We have quite a few online resources available to help you grow as well. (see below)

What It Means that We Are "Reformed"
As you can see by out name, we are what is called a REFORMED or CREEDAL CHURCH because we believe what faithful Christians have believed for the last 2000 years. These beliefs are not secret or hidden but clearly stated and openly taught. They include the Apostles and Nicene Creeds of the early church and the creedal statements known as the Three Forms of Unity. While these were formulated by leaders of the Protestant Reformation, they were adopted by faithful churches since then as a standard for faithfulness. Our Pastor, elders and deacons believe they fully agree with the Word of God and promise to uphold and teach them accordingly. We believe they accurately summarize the teachings of God's unchanging Truth, the Holy Scriptures.
Speaking of the Scriptures, we believe they are complete and authoritative. We do not believe any writings or revelations can challenge the Truth of what has been recorded in them (See Our Beliefs tab for The Four Attributes of Scripture). As Paul says in Galatians 1:8, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed." (O that Muhammad, Joseph Smith and others would have taken this verse to heart.) The Scriptures are the ONLY divinely inspired infallible and inerrant Word of God! (see Revelation 22:18,19) Being "Reformed" extends from our doctrinal teachings to the way our congregation worships and is organized. We feel it is shameful that so many churches and pastors, under the name of Christianity, have no standard but themselves and their opinions. We believe Christ's Church should not only lay claim to the Faith, "once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3), but should also boldly and clearly profess it. Additionally, we believe the church should be organized or structured by the polity or Church government that is taught in Scripture. Simply stated, Christ's Church should have pastors, elders and deacons. To learn more of this check our Leadership and Oversight at NRC page.
Worship at Northland Reformed
We gather to worship on Sundays at 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM (Sunday School for all after AM Service). Our services are orderly and earnest. We don't try to worship as would please ourselves (or even our visitors), but rather as we believe God desires to be worshiped. Simply stated, we try to worship God, God's way (as He has commanded). Not surprisingly, as we seek to honor God and give Him all the praise and glory, it does benefit us deeply... but secondarily. If you want to learn more about God-centered worship, we recommend that you check out the following link to an article by J.I. Packer that contrasts man-centered worship with God-centered.
Practically, this means our worship focuses on the Word of God, the Bible, as it reveals the good news of God's unfolding work of redemption. This is stated powerfully in Hebrews 1:1-3:
"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high...."
We sing, we pray, we listen. We celebrate the greatness of God and His work of redemption in Christ. We join with the Psalmist in proclaiming, "O magnify the LORD with me, let us exalt His Name together." and the Apostle Paul "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenly places in Christ."
"O worship the LORD in the BEAUTY OF HOLINESS!" Psalm 96:9

A Couple More Things... You might be wondering where Northland Reformed Church stands on some of the moral issues of our day.
1. TRADITIONAL VALUES Since we believe the Bible is the only inspired Word of God, we base our morality and beliefs on what is written in it. This means we believe God is the Creator of everything. During the six days of creation, He spoke and brought into existence the world and everything in it. We reject the teaching EVOLUTION as it is founded on faulty presuppositions and is contrary to both Biblical Christianity and objective science. We believe the Scriptures speak with authority on the issues of faith, life and morality. It is these core values that we recognized as Traditional or Family Values.
2. PRO-LIFE Since God is the Author of life, and created mankind in His image and likeness, we believe He is the only one who has the right to authorize its destruction. We believe ABORTION is the intentional ending of human life and as such is morally reprehensible. The place that should be safest has become one of the most dangerous. This does not mean that we are uncaring or calloused toward those who have had an abortion or are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. We would love to be a source of encouragement and moral support. For years we have supported Rachel House which is a local pregnancy counseling ministry.
3. PRO-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE From this view of God, the Bible and morality, we believe that God created marriage to be an exclusive relationship between one man and one woman. While our culture might want to redefine what is morally acceptable, the Scriptures have always regarded HOMOSEXUALITY, as it does all sexual relations outside of marriage, to be sinful and contrary to God's design. All that we think, say and do should be measured by the enduring standard of God's Word.
Ready for a Closer Look?
As you decide whether you will to come for a visit, you are welcome to take a closer look. Our website has links to our creeds and confessions (check out the section that explains why creeds are helpful, our denomination, and even to an extensive QA Section on OPC.ORG (of a sister denomination) that is quite helpful. Our Sermonaudio.com webpage is also quite helpful as it collates Pastor Randy''s sermons, Tweets and "Verse for Today" blogs.
1. VIDEO We have tried to broadcast our sermon live through an Internet Camera, but have had only lmited success. It a little hit or miss and we couldn't get the audio to work for Apples Iphone. If you want to try it during our worship times you can connect through this link: LIVE STREAM. It asks for a log in name. Use "NRC" with password "nrc" We've had better success uploading a recorded video of our weekly sermons. At present you can link to these through our Semon Audio Tab or through our SermonAudio.com/NorthlandReformed webepage.
2. AUDIO As we believe the Holy Spirit works faith in the hearts of believers through the preaching of the holy Gospel, we try to upload the sermons each week by Tuesday evening. As these are in MP3 format, they can be listened to online or downloaded to your mp3 player. These can be found on the left column of this page, the Sermon Tab above, or the SermonAudio.com/NorthlandReformed Page. 3. PRINT You can glance over our weekly bulletins. In addition to including our order of service information, they include announcements and instructional material. As a rule our services are straight forward. We pray, we sing, we listen to God's word.
4. RADIO You could also listen to our radio ads and pilot programs. They are also listed on the bottom of this page. What to Expect If You Visit
Most people will be dressed casual to business casual, though some (like the pastor) will be dressed in a suit and tie. If you dress only in shorts or jeans and T-shirts on the weekend, that will be fine. God put us the planet to worship Him. That we gather for worship is more important than what we wear.
We usually begin our services at their stated times (Sundays @ 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM) and they generally last 65 to 75 minutes.
Our services are pretty easy to follow, and after the Opening, we pretty much stand to sing and sit for the rest.
God not only commands all men every where to repent, he also calls them to worship. He even exhorts us as His people not to forsake the assemblying of ourselves together, as is the manner of some. (Hebrews 10:24,25). We recognize that many have had negative experiences with churches in the past. While these might make non-attendance understandable, it doesn't mitigate your need and responsibility to find a faithful church where you and your family can fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ. We recommend and encourage attendance at both our morning and evening services. While the world and our sinful nature would rather not bother, there's nothing more important than gathering to worship the Almighty.
Might the words of Psalm 116 be a reflection of the attitude of our hearts:
"What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits toward me?
I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows to the LORD
Now in the presence of all His people."
