From the Desk of Pastor Stephen

Welcome to First CRC of Orange City. I would love to have you join us for any of our services or events and get to know you better.

If you join us for the morning service, you will find us in a sermon series on Genesis, focusing on the question of how we fit into the Biggest Story? This series will explore deep questions about Theology (the nature of God), Anthropology (the nature of Humanity), Elentics (the Study of Purpose). But it will become very practical very quickly as we find a sure and certain hope in this confusing and uncertain world.

In the evening services we will continue to work our way through the Heidelberg Catechism, one of the most beloved and personal and warm tools in the history of Christianity for sharing the basics of the faith. We will look at the 10 Commandments as a pathway to joy and freedom in the Fall evening services, and at the Lord's Prayer in the Winter. This is no ivory tower academic catechism, but the heartfelt faith of real Christians in the midst of extraordinary struggles expressing and sharing for us what our only comfort in life and in death is.
