Synopsis
Grace Reformation Church was planted in Woodland in December of 2002. It started with the common vision to see a church in this community with: A distinctively Calvinistic/Reformed theological perspective, reverent worship, a high view of the Bible's authority and sufficiency for all of life, and a high view of doctrinal standards, non-charismatic theology, and not given to "marketing" mentality that compromises the church's unique identity.
