About the Church
The Reformed Church in America (RCA) is “a fellowship of congregations called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be the very presence of Jesus Christ in the world”. Our predecessor, the Dutch Reformed Church, began in 16th century Europe as an outgrowth of the Reformation and was brought to this country by early Dutch settlers. Today, the RCA has congregations throughout the United States and Canada and mission programs throughout the developing world.

The Reformed Faith, to which we adhere, is centered in Christ. We believe our every need finds its answer in Jesus Christ. We believe in the authority of Holy Scripture, the living Word of God, spoken to everyone through the Holy Spirit of God. And we believe that the Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and makes it real, actual and relevant in our lives. This is the essence of the Reformed faith.

The Brookdale Reformed Church (BRC) (originally known as the Reformed Dutch Church at Stone House Plains) celebrated its first worship service in a local barn in 1795. Construction of the first church building began in 1802 and was completed in 1808. Pastor Susan Dorward, 32nd in a long succession of pastors, is our current spiritual leader. It is our heartfelt prayer, having been entrusted with this ministry, to faithfully follow in the steps of our forbearers, “to be the very presence of Jesus Christ in the world” here in Bloomfield,
