507 years ago on October 31, 1517, a monk named Martin Luther nailed 95 “theses” on the door of the Wittenburg Castle Church. These 95 comments by Luther were not really all that controversial, intended to be merely points to initiate discussion on what the church really should be about. The church did not receive these suggestions lightly, but eventually brought severe charges against the upstart monk, who also happened to be a doctor of theology, excommunicating him and attempting to murder him.
Luther never intended to start a new religion, only reform the existing one. His call for reformation was picked up by others including John Calvin, effectively beginning the Protestant movement we now serve under as Presbyterians.
On October 27, 2024, Christ Reigns Church will be celebrating its service with remembrance of all those who have gone before us as a part of our worship for All Saints and we will also celebrate our role as Reformed Christians. Service begins at 11:00 am. 5754 Cedar Creek Grade, Winchester, VA visit our webpage for information www.crpchurch.com. or call 540-667-5978. A Mission Group of the EPC.
Christ Reigns Church can be a place where you and your family can come to find the Good News of Christ and grow closer to God in a biblical and common sense approach. We are a community of believers who very deeply feel a commitment to Jesus and to each other. Come and worship and pray, we invite all to join us.
