In All Things, Christ

We are a church oriented to God as our true north.
From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things.

In a world full of competing directions, we seek first the Kingdom of God—centering our lives on Christ, trusting His guidance, and living for His glory in everything we do.

Founded in 1923, First Christian Reformed Church of Sioux Falls was formed by 14 families with a common Dutch Heritage and the Calvinist Reformed Faith.  In 2023, First CRC celebrated 100 years of God’s faithfulness, having grown to around 1000 members.
