OUR HERITAGE Omaha Reformed Church is a member congregation of the Reformed Church in the United States (founded in 1748). Our history goes back to the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth-century. The Reformers summarized the teachings of Scripture in several historic confessions that came to be known as The Three Forms of Unity: the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dort. Along with the Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds (of the early church) we embrace them as our own. We believe they accurately summarize the teachings of Gods unchanging word, the Holy Bible. OUR AUTHORITY With the church throughout history we believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the only divinely inspired, infallible Word of God. They are the final authority for all questions of doctrine and life. The Spirit of God creates faith in our hearts through the preaching of the Gospel. The Lord Jesus is the only Head of the Church and has appointed pastors, elders and deacons to oversee His people. As officers they affirm and vow to uphold our church confessions, make joint decisions and be accountable to their fellow officers in the Classis and Synod of the Reformed Church in the U.S. OUR FAITH IN CHRIST There is no other name under heaven given among men, by whom we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Christ is the only eternal Son of God and His life of perfect obedience and willing self-sacrifice for our sins is the basis of our salvation. To those who believe, He grants forgiveness of sins, true righteousness, and eternal life. These gifts, which we can neither earn nor deserve, are freely given to those who by true faith are engrafted into Him. In response to this salvation, we will be grateful and strive to live uprightly before Him. As we grow in grace, we will more and more love God, His Word and His Ways, and at the same time come to hate sin and flee from it. We trust in the grace of God to preserve us in this faith to the end. We believe that the Lord Jesus now possesses all authority in heaven and earth (Mt. 28:18) and will, on the appointed day, return to judge the living and the dead. OUR PRAYER FOR YOU If you are a visitor and share these convictions we encourage you to come back. Together we have a responsibility to preserve and proclaim the faith once for all delivered to the saints. We offer rest to the weary, comfort for the distressed and hope for all. Each of our members will gladly visit with you about these things. SDG!
