Reformed Church in America
www.rca.org
The Reformed Church in America dates its beginning to 1628 in New York, when colonists arriving from The Netherlands started a New World version of the Dutch Reformed Church. The denomination includes 175,000 members in more than 900 churches, which all embrace the confessions of the early Christian church such as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed.
RCA congregations may be large or small, informal or formal, traditional or contemporary. But each exists to welcome others into a community of people who are learning about God, growing in faith and serving their neighbors. The RCA is "reformed and reforming," always finding fresh ways to express God's eternal truth.

Crown Financial Ministries teaches Biblical principles for personal finance through resources used by small study groups in churches all over the world, including at Fifth. The ministry aims to teach 300 million people - five percent of the global population - to handle money from God's perspective by 2015. The goal is to bring people into a more intimate relationship with Christ, and to give Christians the freedom to serve God and fund the Great Commission with more of their resources than ever before. |
