First United Reformed Church

What First United Reformed Church does

First United Reformed Church is a nonprofit Reformed Christian congregation established in 1958 in Chino, California, and a member of the United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA), Classis Southwest U.S. The church serves approximately 95 families through two Sunday worship services (9:30 AM and 6:00 PM), 22 small groups, and structured youth and family programs including Cadets, GEMS, Catechism, and youth groups (Dew of Zion, Faith Core, SHIELD). Pastoral leadership consists of Senior Pastor Rev. Bradd L. Nymeyer (since May 2017), Pastor of Congregational Life Dr. Timothy R. Scheuers, and Pastor Emeritus Rev. Ronald L. Scheuers, supported by an office manager, custodian, and Church Council governance; total staff is 14.

The organization's technology footprint is modest and consumer-grade: a website hosted on FACTS Website Services (chinourc.org), YouTube live streaming for worship services, an audio sermon archive, online giving platform, and Zoom for remote Bible studies. Multi-channel outreach extends through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, email newsletters, and in-person community events (Vacation Bible School, Mission Emphasis Week, Food for Life Distributions, Street Witnessing).

The revenue model is donation-based: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, supplemented by occasional nominal program fees. The church supports 12 international and domestic missionaries and partners with theological institutions (Westminster Seminary California, MINTS International, Divine Hope Reformed Bible Seminary) and sister churches in Italy, the Philippines, India, Canada, Liberia, and Costa Rica. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the entity operates as a single-site, community-led organization without commercial products, external investors, or subsidiaries.
