Welcome
Let's face it - life can be difficult. We all face hard times- when an encouraging word and a fresh perspective are just what we need. As members of the Community Reformed Church of Manhasset, we serve God by responding to the spiritual and emotional needs of one another and our community. We encourage you to visit our church and witness God's presence through our worship and through the blessings shared by our members. We invite you to learn more about us and the Reformed Church of America.
Who We Are
The Reformed Church in America is solidly in the mainstream of American Protestantism. In fact, we're the oldest active denomination in the United States with a continuous ministry.
The word Reformed comes from the Protestant Reformation which swept across Europe in the 1500's under the leadership of such men as Martin Luther and John Calvin. Calvin's reformation at Geneva spread to many countries, including Scotland (where it became the Presbyterian Church) and Holland (where it became our ancestor, the Dutch Reformed Church).
Our History is a long and colorful one which you may enjoy learning more about later. The Dutch Reformed Church established its first congregation in New Amsterdam in 1628. Although Dutch in origin, the Reformed Church in America has for decades included peoples of many different races and nationalities in its congregations.

About Our Church
When my first child was on-the-way, I "shopped around" for a church whose preaching's I would be able to support when my children asked questions. At the time, I knew virtually nothing about the Bible. I did not even know it was a history book! Now, 10 years later, I know that The Bible is a guide for how to have the best possible life,... life's instruction manual. More importantly, my kids know it too! -- Jesus really is there for us any time we need Him! Come see for yourself.
