Description of Organization Our Church Overview

Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church (CRPC) is committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to the Great Commission the Lord gave to His church. We glorify and enjoy God through worship, discipleship, and evangelism. We value classical Christianity and have a high view of the Lord's Day and worship. Every Sunday evening, we gather to praise God's for His answering our prayers and His blessings, and to pray to God for the nations, missions, and congregation.

Our History

CRPC is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), Potomac Presbytery. We were planted in Laurel, Maryland 32 years ago. We have 74 communicant and 23 non-communicant members on our roll, comprising 34 family units. Following a disciplinary action involving the Presbytery, our pastor of 30 years left, along with several family. Through Interim Pastor Ministries, we hired an interim pastor who has given us renewed hope while new family, singles, and seniors, diverse in race and character, join us. We are currently more united in spirit and purpose, and more hopeful for the future than ever before. It has been God's refining fire, and we have come out stronger and better and are thankful to God for his faithfulness.

Our Vision

Under our interim pastor's guidance, a Transition Team was established with representatives across the spectrum of our congregation. Through a one-and-a- half-year process, they were able to assess church health, facilitate action, and finalize a strategic plan for our church.

In the strategic plan, we wish Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church will:

be known as a place where the gospel is preached and lived,

engage in special prayer and fasting to seek renewal form the Lord,

have storing and impactful ministries to the community,

minister to those needing compassion and companionship,

Focus on building a youth group strongly grounded in the gospel,

nurture, support, and grow our young adults; and

seek local, national, and international opportunities for mission work.

We hope our future pastor can share our vision and work with us to achieve these goals so that Christ Reformed Presbyterian Church, the bride of Christ, will be a glorious beacon in great Laurel, Maryland area.
