	Religious Movements Homepage: Christian Reformed Church in America
		History: Many members of the Christian Reformed Church in the Netherlands (a group founded after members seceded from the Reformed Church of the Netherlands) immigrated to the United States in 1847 after enduring severe famine and religious persecution in their native country (Melton, 302).
		The church practices a theology based upon the ideas of John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and other leaders of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland (this being a sister movement to the German Reformation of which Martin Luther was the primary leader) (Lippy and Williams, 511).
		The CRC also holds fast to the doctrines found in the Belgic Confession (1561), the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), and the Canons of the Synod of Dort (1618-1619) (Lippy and Williams, 516).

	All Nations Christian Reformed Church

Each month confessing members of the church join in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. This special celebration of God’s saving love is also called Holly Communion.
		Our weekly worship services are a major focus of our church life. In worship we meet God to praise and pray; to confess and find forgiveness; to listen, learn, and dedicate ourselves to God’s service. Our experience points to the importance of our worship services as the first introduction to the church for many newcomers.
