First CRC in Hanford, CA was established in 1912 and is a testament to the steadfast loving-kindness of our covenant-keeping God. From generation to generation, He has proven Himself faithful. The story of First CRC records the evidence of His love and mercy in all our lives, reminding us of God's precious promises. This is our great comfort and joy.

The apostle Paul painted a perfect picture of the point of God's great work as follows:

"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit." - Ephesians 2:19-22

Our Forever Faithful God is at work in each of us. Treasure these things in your heart, and speak of them often.
