Who we are.

Yangebup Christian Reformed Church has been meeting since May 1995 and is one of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia. These churches are part of a worldwide body of Christians which derive their name from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

Reformed churches have been in existence all over the world for three and half centuries and belong to a larger family of Presbyterian type churches who accept the Bible as the authoritative Word of God, relevant to all ages. The denomination in Australia was inaugurated in 1951.

Our Yangebup congregation was planted by the Willetton Christian Reformed church. Yangebup called the first, and current minister, Pastor Peter Smit in November 1995 and he began serving this congregation in February 1996.

What we believe.

Together with fellow Christians we bring the Good News that God so loved the world that He sent His Son to restore us into a living relationship with Himself, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Reformed Churches have a very high regard for God’s Word, and seek to bring its message to bear on our lives. We believe that God’s grace is available to all, and we can receive His offer of forgiveness by faith in Jesus Christ.

Not only do we wish to teach the truth of God, we also desire to share our hope with others. Here in Yangebup our mission statement is “To be God’s instruments in building a local community of Christian disciples by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.” We desire to be faithful to our Lord’s great commission (Matt 28:19,20), growing in faith and service and sharing the good news of Christ.
