About

First Reformed Church of Hasbrouck Heights is a congregation of the Reformed Church in America, founded by the Dutch in New Amsterdam in 1628.  Today the RCA is a diverse and inclusive community of believers growing in faith and witnessing to the gospel in word and deed.  Our mission is to follow Christ and proclaim His Word in a lost and broken world so loved by God.

1.
What We
Believe

We believe all people are created in God’s image and are called to participate in God’s Kingdom. Our faith is centered in God’s love for us demonstrated in Jesus Christ, God’s son. We believe the gospel of the grace of God in Jesus Christ is revealed in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that we are saved by grace alone through faith, not by what we think or do to earn God’s favor. Our good works don’t earn our salvation, but are a way to thank God for this free gift of salvation.

A world where all experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ

Mission
Statement

Seeking God, nurturing one another, and building relationships with those who do not yet know the love and grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Here at First Reformed Church of Hasbrouck Heights we believe everyone matters and everyone has been invited to a life-giving and healing relationship with Jesus Christ.

While it is true that we can connect with our Creator when we are walking through a forest, doing creative artwork and even on the golf course, but to really grow in our discipleship and experience healing and wholeness it requires being with others.  Our scriptures tell us we are to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling”. For us, that means living what we believe about grace, love and forgiveness in the context of relationships.  When we are a part of a church this is what we do, figure out what it means to be grace-filled, loving and forgiving of each other no matter the circumstances because we have experienced these things in Jesus Christ.

Here at First Reformed Church of Hasbrouck Heights, your belief in God and God’s Son, Jesus Christ, however imperfect and maybe even shaky at times, gives you a community where you belong. 

When you are where you matter, where you can make a difference, you can become the person God intended you to be from before your very first breath.
