We are excited to share that on Sunday, April 6, 2025, we broke ground on our new sanctuary! It is our prayer that God will bless this endeavor and that this addition will bless our members and the surrounding community. We invite you to come and see how God is working within Ottawa Reformed Church! We give all the glory and honor to God!
