Community Life

"We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another." 

 (I John 3:16)


Third Reformed Church has various ministries that encourage congregational members to nurture their faith with God and develop the body of Christ in fellowship of a small group.

Fellowship activities


Throughout the year, we schedule fellowship activities to bring our church and community closer together. Events include bowling, a church picnic after Labor Day, children's day, Pizza Lunch the third Sunday of each month, an annual Block Party with St. Francis Roman Catholic Church on the last Tuesday of August, and our Backyard Bash the last Wednesday in July to kick off VBS. Other events throughout the year include "What's for Dinner?", organized a few times a year on a Friday night at church members' homes, and an inter-generational church retreat in March.


Check the calendar for upcoming events.
