Christ United Reformed Church is hosting a FREE community event on October 22, 2016. Join us from 9am-3pm for teaching and discussion on this important subject.

 With so many churches out there, how can anyone be sure he is attending the right one? 

Is choosing a church a consumer choice or does the Bible show us how to identify a true one?

What can we learn from the Protestant Reformation about the marks of a true church?
