Immanuel Reformed Fellowship, marks the return of the Reformed Church in the United States in south central, Iowa after over an eighty year absence.
In the early 1900’s, the RCUS was known as the “German Reformed Church.” The denomination’s heritage goes back to the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation when God raised church reformers to direct His people back to the teachings of sacred Scripture.
By the 1700’s, the German Reformed Church made its presence in the United States and would prosper and eventually merge in 1934, forming a new denomination, but a remnant refused to join and desired to remain faithful to the Bible and historic confessions, maintaining the name, Reformed Church in the United States.
The RCUS holds that God’s Word is authoritative, sufficient, necessary, and perspicuous for all of life, and that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God.
The RCUS adopted the Three Forms of Unity (the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession, and the Canons of Dort) as its confessional subordinate standards that systematically and rightly reflect the teachings of sacred Scripture.
The RCUS holds to a presbyterian form of church government.
