Heritage Reformed Church RCUS

Heritage Reformed Church is a part of the Covenant East Classis of the Reformed Church in the U.S. a member church of the North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council (NAPARC). Heritage Reformed Church was established in Honesdale, PA in the summer of 2003 at the instigation of members of the Reformed Church in the United States living in north-east, Pennsylvania.

Heritage Reformed Church traces its ecclesiastical history to the early beginnings of the RCUS in Colonial Pennsylvania in 1745 and prior to that to the formation of early congregations in the Philadelphia region in 1720.

The doctrinal standards of Heritage Reformed Church are those of the Sixteenth Century Protestant Reformation (hence the name "Reformed") and consist of the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession of Faith and the Canons of Dordt known world-wide as "The Three Forms of Unity." As a confessional church we are always ready to "give an answer for the hope that is within us." Our confessional standards ensure unity in matters of essential doctrine.

Heritage Reformed Church engages in traditional worship; teaches that man is saved by grace, not works; supports the right-to-life of unborn infants; expects fathers to exercise headship in the home; teaches six-day creation, and promotes Christian education.

We seek to consistently preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and to apply biblical principles to the issues confronting our families, churches, communities and nation, making no apologies for our lack of trendiness or "political correctness.
