A note of PRAISE from the Building/Bond committee … we would like to thank all our Faith Partners contributors for 2024. These funds are used to buy back more bonds, pay the interest and accelerate the payoff of bonds used to fund our last building program – the New Narthex. The current balance on the bonds is $71,000 and we expect to pay off the bonds by 2027 allowing this to be completely paid off in 8 years. Thank you all for your faithfulness, sharing in this vision and supporting the fellowship at Goshen Christian Reformed Church.

Goshen CRC would like to welcome Parker Joseph Arnold & Kasey Leo Arnold - God is good! Congratulations to parents, Tyler & Kayla! To help welcome these new little ones, we’ve placed a bassinet in the narthex to fill with diapers, wipes and other baby items.

New Year, New Directory! The time has come for a new Church Directory as we have had an abundance of new families join us. We are requesting each member to submit their name, address, phone number (home and/or cell), email address, children’s names and provide a family photo. Please complete a Directory Form (located in the back of church) or you can scan the QR code to submit information and upload a photo. Information can also be submitted via email to [email protected]. Any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Britanni Gaucher or Kelsie Doller, or complete the Connection Card and an Elder or Deacon will put you in touch.

Who should take part in communion at Goshen CRC? (Here's our policy)  
Those who are truly sorrowful for their sins, and yet trust that these are forgiven them for the sake of Christ; and that their remaining infirmities are covered by his passion and death; and who also earnestly desire to have their faith more and more strengthened, and their lives more holy; but hypocrites, and such as turn not to God with sincere hearts, eat and drink judgment to themselves. (Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 81 also 1 Corinthians 11.)

We believe that this should describe every healthy Christian. If you have questions about this, or want to change to meet this description, please see a pastor or an elder, we’d love to help you grow closer to Jesus together.
