Emmanuel Reformed Church

About this church

Emmanuel Reformed Church worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Schodack, with a live online option. The church describes its usual service as “semi-traditional”: people begin arriving about fifteen minutes early, park behind the building, and meet greeters just inside. During summer, worship moves to the outdoor ministry pavilion from mid-June through September. That gathering is intentionally light and informal, with acoustic guitar, keyboard, prayer, a thoughtful sermon, and clothing ranging from dresses and collared shirts to T-shirts and shorts.

The congregation’s mission is to worship God, engage people in the life and work of the church, and follow Jesus. It understands itself as a multigenerational spiritual family where teaching, service, and fellowship belong together. Theologically, Emmanuel stands in the Reformed Church in America and points to the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as well as the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, and Belhar Confession. The summer pavilion is a distinctive first-visit option; at other times, the rear lot and indoor greeters simplify arrival.
