Welcome to
Grace Reformed Church of Rapid City, SD.
Included in our website is information to help you know
more about who we are, and what we believe.
In terms of faith and practice, we are:
Biblical
We hold the Bible to be the Inspired, Inerrant and
Infallible Word of the Living God, and its doctrine of
salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, the only
perfect and true doctrine.
Reformed
While our ecclesiastical history traces its beginnings
through German Protestant immigrants in Colonial
America, our doctrinal standards are those of the
Sixteenth Century Protestant Reformation (hence the name
"Reformed").
Trinitarian
With the believing Church of all generations, we worship
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the One True God Who has
revealed Himself in Three Persons.
Confessional
We believe the best summary of the Christian faith is found in the historic
standards of the Reformation: the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort. See “CONFESSIONS”
at www.rcus.org.
Our Ministry
Our main ministry is to preach and teach the Bible, since God promises to use the preaching and teaching of His Word to save people from their sins (Romans 10:17; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 1 Peter 1:23). We believe the Bible has the answers to all of man’s basic problems (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and therefore we seek to apply the Bible to every area of life. For an example of how the Bible solves problems such as fear and addiction see the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation
at www.ccef.org.
If this is your heart's desire then we invite you to join us.
