First Reformed Church is part of the Reformed (Continental) family of churches in The American Church Story. 62 congregations of the Reformed (Continental) family gather across Pennsylvania — 992 across the United States on The Church Map.

The Continental Reformed churches gave the church some of its most comforting teaching — the Heidelberg Catechism begins by asking what your only comfort in life and in death is, and answers that you are not your own — along with a vision of every ordinary square inch of life as belonging to God. Their schools and colleges have taught far beyond their own numbers.

More than a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter describe their own health as fair or poor.
