About Us

Santa Clarita United Reformed Church exists to bring glory to God through worship, nurture, and witness fueled by the power of the gospel. We are a church plant within the federation of churches called the United Reformed Churches of North America (URCNA).

We hold to the five solas of the Reformation: by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. We believe that the Reformed confessions (the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort) provide a clear, accurate, and faithful summary of the teaching of Scripture.

At the heart of that summary is the gospel itself. With the Heidelberg Catechism, we confess that our only comfort in life and in death is that we are not our own but belong, body and soul, to our faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who has fully paid for all our sins with his precious blood. This is the good news we gather around each Lord’s Day, and it gives shape to the whole Christian life: it shows us how great our sin and misery are, how Christ has set us free from all of it, and how we now live in gratitude to God for so great a deliverance.

Because Christ gathers and keeps his church by his Word and Spirit, we want to be a congregation known by the marks of a true church: the pure preaching of the gospel, the right administration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the faithful exercise of loving church discipline. Our worship is ordered by Scripture and centered on the ministry of the Word, and we come to the Lord’s Table together every week. We’re a family of ordinary Christians who love to sing the Psalms and hymns, sit under the preaching of Christ, and care for one another between Sundays.

If you’re exploring the Reformed faith, returning to the church after time away, or simply looking for a congregation that takes God’s Word seriously, we’d love to meet you. Come worship with us this Lord’s Day, and see for yourself what the Lord is doing in this corner of Santa Clarita.
