Gainesville
Reformed Presbyterian
Church

Welcome

The Gainesville Reformed Pres­by­terian Fel­low­ship began in August, 2021, when three fam­i­lies started meet­ing together for a weekly Bible study and, soon, a weekly worship ser­vice.

Togeth­er, we seek to bear a wit­ness to Jesus Christ’s rule and reign over all human beings, includ­ing their gov­ern­ments. We seek to believe all that is taught in the Bible, which we hold to be inerrant and author­i­ta­tive. We seek to wor­ship God only as He has com­mand­ed. We seek to live our lives in faith­ful­ness to God’s instructions in the Holy Scrip­tures, in order to honor Him and advance His King­dom through­out the earth.

We invite you to join us in this endeav­or.

About Us

We are part of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, organized in 1798, with congregations across the USA.

We function under the oversight of the elders of our sending church, the Orlando Reformed Presbyterian Church: Dr. Nathan Eshelman, Pastor; Jonathan Schaefer, Mark Goerner, Alejandro Ramirez, Kevin Duffey, and Joseph Worsham, ruling elders.

Our pas­tor is Rev. Thomas G. Reid Jr., who has served as pas­tor of con­gre­ga­tions in three coun­tries (Ire­land, Canada, and Kansas), as well as in the­o­log­i­cal edu­ca­tion, most recently at the Reformed Pres­by­terian The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary in Pitts­burgh, Penn­syl­va­nia. Pas­tor Reid and his wife Geneviève live in north­west Gainesville.

The Nation (Study-1)

The nation is the creation of the Creator God, the One who made mankind, male and female.  “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness … So God created man in His own image; in the image of God[,] He created him; male and female[,] He...

Reid On: Why This Church?
