The Protestant Reformed Churches in America (PRC) are a denomination of 28 churches and over 7,000 members. They believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God (and only the King James Version is used in their churches) and that the truths are summarized in the Reformed Confessions; the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dordt. These creeds are commonly referred to as the Three Forms of Unity.
The PRC has member churches through out the United States and Canada. A majority of the churches in the United States are located in western Michigan but there are also churches located in New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, California and Washington. The Canadian churches are located in Alberta and Ontario.
History and Theology
The Protestant Reformed Churches in America were founded in 1924 as a result of a controversy regarding common grace in the Christian Reformed Church. Led by Herman Hoeksema, the PRC rejected common grace as a slippery-slope to Arminianism, if not an actual variant of that theology. The PRC believes in supralapsarianism and has been accused by its critics of being Hyper-Calvinistic. More on [ Protestant Reformed Churches in America ]
