Other resources that will help you understand what we believe

• Quest of Faith: A study and discussion guide for those who are planning to profess their faith and for others who seek a deeper understanding of the faith they confess. In this book Robert De Moor leads the reader through sixty-five basic questions about the Christian faith and our Reformed heritage. For each question he suggests possible answers that stimulate readers to formulate their own answers and speak clearly and knowledgeably about what they believe. Quest of Faith is an excellent resource for pre-confession classes, pastor’s classes, adult study groups, or individual study. The questions are organized into seven units that students should be asked to read at home. The units provide ample discussion material for seven to thirteen class sessions. Robert De Moor has served as pastor in four Christian Reformed churches and is presently associate theological editor of CRC Publications.
• Questions & Answers: In this booklet, written by Martin Geluk, the Christian faith is expressed in terms of the Reformed understanding of Scripture. Martin asks 260 very interesting and relevant questions being asked today, and then answers them in a way that is very clear, to the point and based on Scripture. This booklet is an absolute must for every member of our congregation!
