Not good for the Reformed Church in America. becoming to liberalized. Grand Rapid, Mi area is quite conservative. To have the ability for the RCA to replant a church in the area will be hard. The PCA is gaining churches from RCA and PCUSA. The PCA has had a merger with the RPCUSA (reformed presbyterian Church) back in the 1980 - 1990s. The presbyteian and Reformed Church denominations are getting smaller with fewer denominations and churches are going into more conservative bodies. Oddly RCA is the oldest denomination in the USA, The PCA is one of the newest ones just like the EPC. i was part of the PCA prior to a no fault divorce, whereby i went to the WELS (conservative lutheran, where I had to start anew).
The RCA and the CRC are both becoming lefty, lefty, lefty. I weep for the many farmers and good Christ-loving people in small towns that I know who are part of the CRC. Pray they hold out and don’t let the left go too far.
I have an uncle who is a retired CRC Pastor and he doesn’t want anything to do with them because he said they are so far left it isn’t even funny.
