Hope Reformed Church is a member of the Reformed Church in America, the oldest Protestant denomination in America with a continuous history. It was established in New York in 1628. It is a historic denomination coming out of the Reformation when the Church was "reformed" according to the Word of God. The Church is Reformed in belief, with a Presbyterian form of government.
Hope Reformed Church was founded in 1891 by a group of Dutch immigrants. In 1938, the present sanctuary at 6th and Ontario Avenue in Sheboygan was built. In 1982, the attached Faith Center, containing church offices and Sunday School rooms, was completed. In 1999, the Wynveen Hope House, formerly the pastor's residence, was converted from housing to a meeting facility and is now used as a Youth Center and for various church and community meetings.
Hope Reformed Church has not only cared for our own members but has sought to bless our community and our world. In 1958, Bethany Reformed Church was founded on the south side of Sheboygan by members of Hope. The 10 acres of land on which their campus now sits was given as a gift to Bethany.
Through the years 20 sons and daughters of Hope Church have gone into full-time ministry over the years. Many have also served in short-term missions and gone on mission trips to serve people in need in the US and around the world.
Our Confession of Faith includes: The Apostles' Creed, The Bible as God's Word, and Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the World. To all who so believe, we extend a cordial invitation to unite with us in worship and service of God by confession of faith, re-affirmation of faith or by transfer of church membership. The Pastor and Elders will gladly call on those who are ill, need spiritual guidance, or desire to unite with the Church.
