Our Mission

St John’s Reformed Church strives to welcome all, to know and proclaim God’s word, to seek God’s will and to live by Christ’s example. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we welcome all of God’s children regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, cognitive or physical limitation to feel free to worship God and seek His amazing Grace.

We understand the fulfillment of this mission within the context of the Great Commission of Christ to his Church and the Mission of God in the world.

What We Believe

St. John's Reformed Church believes that the Apostles' Creed contains the foundational truths of the Christian Faith. In addition to the Apostles' Creed we also maintain faithfulness with the historic statements of faith found in the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds.

As a Christian church arising from the Reformation of the Church under John Calvin, we also hold to confessional statements that are unique to our understanding and practice of the Christian faith. These include: The Heidleberg Catechcism, The Belgic Confession, the Canons of Dort, and the Belhar Confession.

Mission of the Month

Trust Orphanage, Ukraine Many of you may know Meri Puccio, a long-time Dutchess County resident and well-known chef and caterer. Her cousin – Maria Pleskanka - lives and works in the Ukraine as a teacher and has been volunteering at the Trust Orphanage, in the war-ravaged Dnipro region of the Ukraine, since the war began in February of 2022. Almost 3 years ago. With the help of direct donations from Meri, and her USA-located family, friends and associates, Maria has consistently and faithfully provided food to the 75 to 150 children who are housed in the orphanage on any given day. Her first act of kindness was to gather enough money for a hot water heater for the abandoned monastery. The story goes on and on. On January 26, Meri came and spoke to the congregation. At Fellowship Hour, she served typical Ukrainian treats, shared pictures of the children at the orphanage, and told more stories of the generosity of our local neighbors who have enabled this ministry to continue. Please join us in learning more about this important mission opportunity and supporting it. Those of you on Face Book can Follow Meri and see all the amazing pictures of the children enjoying the benefits of the generosity of many.
