Families today are navigating a lot. Busy schedules. Constant noise. Hard conversations. The pressure to get everything right.

At First Reformed Church, we want to help families win.

This fall, we’re launching a churchwide focus called Helping Families Win, a sustained initiative designed to encourage parents, grandparents, kids, students, and families as they grow together in faith and connection.

Our hope is to help families:

• nurture open conversations
• replace silence with encouragement and affection
• build stronger relationships
• grow together through prayer and God’s Word
• experience transformation through Christ

Throughout the year, we’ll be providing practical encouragement, events, resources, conversations, and discipleship opportunities for every stage of family life.

A Fun Night for the Whole Family

Join us for an evening of food, games, laughter, and community as we kick off Helping Families Win with comedian Bob Smiley.

Bob Smiley is known for his high-energy, family-friendly comedy that connects with kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between. This event is designed to bring people together for a night that is encouraging, uplifting, and genuinely fun.

This event is open to the entire community, so invite your friends, neighbors, and family members to join us.

We believe strong families are built through intentional connection, honest conversation, encouragement, prayer, and spiritual growth.

Helping Families Win is about creating space for those things to happen and equipping families with simple, meaningful ways to grow together in everyday life.

More opportunities, resources, and events will be added throughout the year.
