What Type of Church is NRCC?

New Richmond Christian Church is a non-denominational church. We are not formally tied to any denomination or governing body outside of our local congregation. Our church is led by its pastors, elders, and members under the authority of God’s Word.

At the same time, we gladly associate with the historic Reformed Baptist tradition. By this we mean that our teaching and practice are shaped by a biblical view of God’s sovereignty, salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, and the authority and sufficiency of Scripture in all matters of faith and life.

What Does Non-Denominational Mean?

Non-denominational churches can look very different from one another. At its most basic, the term means that we are not under a denominational structure, synod, or organization. Instead, NRCC governs itself through its leadership and congregation in submission to the Bible.

While we are non-denominational, we do not see ourselves as disconnected from the wider body of Christ. We draw deeply from the historic witness of the church and find particular affinity with the convictions of the Reformed Baptist tradition, which emphasizes the centrality of Scripture, the necessity of God’s grace, and the call to live faithfully as Christ’s disciples.

Do You Associate with Other Churches?

Yes, joyfully. Though we are not part of a denomination, we love to fellowship and partner with like-minded churches and believers who share our commitment to the gospel and the authority of Scripture.

Being non-denominational does not mean being without doctrinal convictions or relationships. We cherish the bonds we share with our brothers and sisters in Christ, including many who serve in Reformed Baptist churches and other congregations rooted in the historic Christian faith. Together we seek to glorify God and make Christ known in our community and beyond.
