Canadian Reformed Churches

Both Ancaster and Trinity churches are members of the federation of Canadian Reformed Churches. This federation of about 50 churches across Canada and the United States is unified in its belief that the Holy Scripture or the Holy Bible is the Word of God, and is the final authority on faith and life in the church and its members.

Its history is rooted in the Protestant Reformation especially as it developed in the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and came to Canada via post Second World War Dutch immigrants.

CCRTC offers programs leading to a Diploma of Education and a Diploma of Teaching. Both programs are structured to provide students with a high quality education which is firmly principled, theoretically sound as well as practical. In addition, CCRTC seeks to serve the schools by providing opportunities for the professional development of in-service teachers.
