Jesus said: “I will build my church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it” Mathew 16:18. This means that wherever the true church of Jesus Christ is found, there is no mere human organization, but the supernatural work of the Son of God. With gratitude to God we believe that the Lynden United Reformed Church is part of this church building work of Jesus Christ. We hope that comparing our testimony with what the Bible teaches about the church will lead you to recognize the work of Jesus Christ among us.
The Lynden United Reformed Church was established and incorporated in January 1997. The need to form a new church was due to the fact that other churches had for several years been departing from the authority of the Bible and from historic creeds and confessions. The result was a breakdown of biblical worship, preaching and church discipline. After years of attempts to reform through proper church channels, it became clear that obedience to God required the formation of a new church.
The Lynden United Reformed Church was not established in order to start something new, but to maintain loyalty to what was true, reliable and unchanging, namely, the Word of God. The truth of the unchanging Word has been confessed and lived by the true Christian Church down through the centuries. It is our solemn desire and purpose to confess and live that same truth and to stand with all others who share this commitment.
