Heritage Reformed Church is a mission work of Peace Reformed Church, Reformed Church in the U.S., Napoleon Ohio. Heritage Reformed Church was established in Honesdale, PA in the summer of 2003 at the instigation of members of the Reformed Church in the United States living in north-east, Pennsylvania.
Heritage Reformed Church traces its ecclesiastical history to the early beginnings of the RCUS in Colonial Pennsylvania in 1745 and prior to that to the formation of early congregations in the Philadelphia region in 1720.
The doctrinal standards of Heritage Reformed Church are those of the Sixteenth Century Protestant Reformation (hence the name "Reformed") and consist of the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession of Faith and the Canons of Dordt known world-wide as "The Three Forms of Unity." As a confessional church we are always ready to "give an answer for the hope that is within us." Our confessional standards ensure unity in matters of essential doctrine.
Heritage Reformed Church engages in traditional worship; teaches that man is saved by grace, not works; supports the right-to-life of unborn infants; expects fathers to exercise headship in the home; teaches six-day creation, and promotes Christian education.
We seek to consistently preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and to apply biblical principles to the issues confronting our families, churches, communities and nation, making no apologies for our lack of trendiness or "political correctness."
The Pastor of Heritage Reformed Church is the Rev. Ron Potter who has lived served the RCUS in this region of Pennsylvania since 1995. Rev. Potter has been a minister in the RCUS since 1985 and has also served RCUS congregations in California and Wyoming.
Heritage Reformed Church meets for bible class and worship each Lord's Day at the church located at 335 Beach Lake Highway, Honesdale, PA., and each Wednesday evening at 7:00 P.M. for prayer and bible study.
